Doubling Ty1 element copy number in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: host genome stability and phenotypic effects.

Genetics - 1 Dec 1991

Boeke J D, Eichinger D J, Natsoulis G

Abstract excerpt

Haploid yeast strains bearing approximately double the normal number of Ty1 elements have been constructed using marked GAL/Ty1 fusion plasmids. The strains maintain their high transposon copy number and overall genome structure in the absence of selection. The strains bearing extra Ty1 copies ar...
