A chromosome containing HOT1 preferentially receives information during mitotic interchromosomal gene conversion.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1990

Voelkel-Meiman K, Roeder G S

Abstract excerpt

The recombination-stimulating sequence, HOT1, is derived from yeast ribosomal DNA and corresponds to the sequences required for promotion of transcription by RNA polymerase I. The effect of HOT1 on mitotic interchromosomal gene conversion was examined in diploid strains carrying his4 heteroallele...
