Abstract excerpt
Our approach to the study of how the molecular nature of DNA modulates the behavior of mutational sites involves the characterisation of distributions of mutations. The Escherichia coli lacI genetic/M13 cloning system allows the comparison of base substitution frequencies at a large number of sites. The observed distribution of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced G:C----A:T transition (the...
