Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) events are an important source of genetic variation in diploids and are implicated in cancer. LOH-event rates vary across the genome and across genetic backgrounds, but our understanding of this variation is incomplete. State-of-the-art measurements of LOH rates are obtained from mutation accumulation (MA) experiments in heterozygous hybrids, mainly in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae....
