Abstract excerpt
The RAD50 gene of S. cerevisiae is required during meiosis for both recombination and chromosome synapsis and is also required for repair of double strand breaks during vegetative growth. We present below the isolation and analysis of several types of rad50 mutants. We show that null mutations bl...
