Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, the mutagenic process termed repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) inactivates duplicated DNA sequences during the sexual cycle by the introduction of C:G to T:A transition mutations. In this work, we have used a collection of N. crassa strains exhibiting a wide range of cellular levels of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet), the universal donor of methyl groups, to explore whether frequencies of...
