Premeiotic instability of repeated sequences in Neurospora crassa.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 1990

Selker E U

Abstract excerpt

Maintenance of a steamlined genome is probably important to a free-living fungus. The period between fertilization and karyogamy in the life cycle of Neurospora and related fungi provides an ideal time for "genome-cleaning". Premeiotic intrachromosomal recombination deletes tandem repeats at high frequency in both homothallic and heterothallic filamentous ascomycetes. This eliminates excess copies of tandemly...
