Lack of site-specific recombination between mitochondrial genomes of petite mutants of yeast.

Gene - 15 Oct 1993

Abstract excerpt

Previous work from our laboratory showed that mitochondrial (mt) genomes, with tandem repeat units, from spontaneous, cytoplasmic petite mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae do not exhibit site-specific recombination in petite x petite crosses [Rayko et al., Gene 63 (1988) 213-226]. Here, we have...
