Abstract excerpt
Double-strand break (DSB) repair is highly mutagenic compared to normal replication. In budding yeast, repair of an HO (homothallism) endonuclease-induced DSB at the mating-type α locus (MATα) can be repaired by using an ectopic heterochromatic HMR::Kl-URA3 donor, producing MAT::Kl-URA3. Among MAT::Kl-Ura3- mutations arising during repair, 50% are base-pair substitutions. 30% are 1-bp indels in short...
