Abstract excerpt
The rad9.192 DNA repair mutant from the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, is sensitive to both UV and ionising radiation. The rad9 gene has been cloned by complementation of the gamma-ray sensitivity of the mutant cell line. A 4.3 kb HindIII fragment was found to confer resistance to both types of radiation. The region of complementation was further localised to a 2.6 kb HindIII-EcoRV fragment, which, by...
