Abstract excerpt
Using a screen designed to identify yeast mutants specifically defective in recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, we have obtained new alleles of the meiosis-specific genes, HOP1, RED1, and MEK1. In addition, the screen identified a novel gene designated MSH5 (MutS Homolog 5). Although Msh5p exhibits strong homology to the MutS family of proteins, it is not involved in DNA mismatch repair....
