Abstract excerpt
The size and extent of four Neurospora crassa duplications, Dp(AR17), Dp(IBj5), Dp(OY329), and Dp(B362i), was determined by testing the coverage of RFLP markers. The first three duplications were all > approximately 350 kb and have been shown in earlier studies to act as dominant suppressors of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in gene-sized duplications, possibly via titration of the RIP machinery. Dp(B362i),...
