Abstract excerpt

Mitotic recombination has emerged lately as a surprisingly common cause of recessive functional gene loss in mammalian cells and has been implicated in tumour suppressor gene loss in human neoplasms. In an assay, primarily monitoring mitotic recombination in Drosophila melanogaster, the ability o...
