Abstract excerpt

Both BC and 4CMB but not 4HMB were shown to be capable of inducing mitotic gene conversion in exponential phase cultures of the JDI strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results obtained indicate that in terms of the relative frequency of genetic events per lethal event 4CMB was more...
