Abstract excerpt
Convergent studies in human and yeast model systems have shown that some minisatellite loci are relatively stable in somatic cells but not in the germline, and little is known about the mechanism(s) that can destabilize them. Unlike microsatellite sequences, mini satellites are not destabilized by mismatch repair mutations. We report here that the absence of Rad27 and Dna2 functions but not RNase H(35) or Exo1,...
