Abstract excerpt

Disruption of RAD1, a gene controlling excision repair in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, increased the frequency of spontaneous forward mutation in a plasmid-borne copy of the SUP4-o gene. To characterize this effect in detail, a collection of 249 SUP4-o mutations arising spontaneously in th...
