Abstract excerpt
We have studied gene conversion initiated by the ai3 intron of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial (mt) COXI gene and its homologous intron (S.cap.ai1) from Saccharomyces capensis. The approach used involved the measurement of intron transmission amongst the progeny of crosses between constructed recipient and donor strains. We found that the S. cerevisiae ai3 intron is extremely active as a donor in gene...
