Abstract excerpt
We examined mismatch repair (MMR)-defective diploid strains of budding yeast grown for approximately 160 generations to determine whether decreases in spore viability due to the uncovering of recessive lethal mutations correlated with an increase in gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). No GCRs were detected despite dramatic decreases in spore viability, suggesting that frameshift and/or other unrepaired DNA...
