Mobility of two optional G + C-rich clusters of the var1 gene of yeast mitochondrial DNA.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1990

Wenzlau J M, Perlman P S

Abstract excerpt

Yeast mtDNA contains two different kinds of mobile optional sequences, two group I introns and a short G + C-rich insertion to some var1 genes. Movement of each element in crosses has been called gene conversion though little is known about the mechanism of G + C cluster conversion. A new allele...
