Abstract excerpt

To study the molecular basis of the origin of complete and mosaic mutants, pBR322 plasmids with damage to one or both DNA strands were constructed by limited chemical modification of plasmid DNA. Damage to one strand of DNA resulted in the induction of predominantly mosaic mutants. Data were obta...
