Abstract excerpt
A frameshift reversion assay has been established for Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which allows detection of deletions and insertions of nucleotides in a non-repetitive DNA sequence. Compared to wild type, frameshift mutation rates were increased in the mismatch repair (MMR) mutants msh2, msh6, mlh1, and pms1, but not in a swi4 strain (defective in the Msh3 homologue). Rates were also elevated in the DNA...
