Plasmid-mediated induction of recombination in yeast.
Genetics - 1 May 1994
Silberman R, Kupiec M
Abstract excerpt
Diploid yeast cells heteroallelic at the HIS3 locus were transformed with a minichromosome (centromeric plasmid) carrying homology to the HIS3 region and containing the same two mutations as were present in the chromosomes. When a double-strand break (DSB) was introduced in the region of homology, an increase in the recombination frequency between heteroalleles (leading to His+ cells) was observed, although the...
