Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking the structure-specific nuclease Rad27 display an enhancement in recombination that increases as sequence length decreases, suggesting that Rad27 preferentially restricts recombination between short sequences. Since wild-type alleles of both RAD27 and its human homologue FEN1 complement the elevated short-sequence recombination (SSR) phenotype of a rad27-null mutant, this...
