Abstract excerpt
We have examined the behavior of the [mi-3] mitochondrial mutation and two physical mtDNA markers in heterokaryotic cultures of Neurospora crassa. Previous workers showed that a 1.2-kilobase insertion in the larger polymorphic form of EcoRI-5 restriction fragment is a site of high frequency and rapid unidirectional gene conversion. We have confirmed this observation and determined by DNA sequence analysis that...
