Abstract excerpt
Homothallic strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can convert mating type from a to alpha or alpha to a as often as every generation, by replacing genetic information specifying one mating type at the expressor locus, MAT, with information specifying the opposite mating type. The cryptic mating type information that is copied and inserted at MAT is contained in either of two loci, HML or HMR. The particular locus...
