Abstract excerpt
Mutants defective in meiotic recombination were isolated using a disomic haploid strain of S. cerevisiae, and were classified into 11 genes. Two, MRE2 and MRE11, are new genes and nine are previously identified genes. The mre2 and mre11 deletion mutants are proficient in mitotic recombination, but are defective in meiotic recombination and in formation of viable spores. The spore inviability, however, is...
