Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic properties of a true unique abasic site located opposite a guanine residue were studied. An oligonucleotide containing a chemically-produced abasic site was inserted into a shuttle vector able to replicate both in simian cells and in bacteria. Plasmid DNA was rescued from simian cells and screened in bacteria by differential hybridization with a labelled oligonucleotide probe. Mutations were easily...
