Abstract excerpt
We have measured the mutation rates of G(17) and A(17) repeat sequences in cultured mammalian cells with and without mismatch repair and have compared these rates to those of a (CA)(17) repeat sequence. Plasmids containing microsatellites that disrupt the reading frame of a downstream neomycin-resistance gene were introduced into the cells by transfection and revertants were selected using the neomycin analog...
