Specificity of repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) in Neurospora: sensitivity of non-Neurospora sequences, a natural diverged tandem duplication, and unique DNA adjacent to a duplicated region.

Abstract excerpt

The process designated RIP (repeat-induced point mutation) alters duplicated DNA sequences in the sexual cycle of Neurospora crassa. We tested whether non-Neurospora sequences are susceptible to RIP, explored the basis for the observed immunity to this process of a diverged tandem duplication that probably arose by a natural duplication followed by RIP (the Neurospora zeta-eta region), and investigated whether...
