Abstract excerpt
Crossover and noncrossover recombinants can form by two different pathways during meiotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The MER3 gene is known to affect selectively crossover, but not noncrossover, recombination. The Mer3 protein is a DNA helicase that unwinds duplex DNA in the 3' to...
