Abstract excerpt
Although sequence heterology clearly reduces crossing over in yeast, conflicting studies suggest that mismatches may increase or decrease gene conversion. To investigate this issue in an additional species, we measured the effect of local sequence heterology on conversion in his-3 of Neurospora crassa. Mismatches close to the cog recombination initiator or within his-3 reduce conversion to 70% and 30% of the...
