Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous thioguanine-resistant mutants were derived from populations of finite-life-span, diploid human fibroblasts by means of a fluctuation analysis. cDNA was prepared from mutant HPRT mRNA and amplified by the polymerase chain reaction, and the sequence of the product was analyzed. Exon deletions, which very likely arose from mutations in the intron splice site consensus sequences, were found in 10 of the...
