Abstract excerpt
Mating-type (MT) switching in homothallic (h90) strains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is initiated by a DNA double-strand break (DSB) at the distal end of the expression cassette mat1. The cis-acting smt-s1 mutation C13-P11 reduces the frequency of MT switching. It is a small deletion mapping approximately 50 bp distal to the site of the DSB. From the h90 smt-s1 strain we isolated 13 mutants with a hyperspeckled...
