Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the mutagenic properties of an abasic site in DNA by transfecting SOS-induced and uninduced cells of E. coli with a single-stranded M13mp7-based vector that carries a single example of this lesion at one or other of two unique and adjacent sites. Random samples of progeny phage were sequenced to determine the nature of the replication events that occurred at and around these locations. 5% to...
