Abstract excerpt

Double-strand break (DSB)-induced gene conversion in yeast was studied in crosses between ura3 heteroalleles carrying phenotypically silent markers at approximately 100-bp intervals, which allow high-resolution analyses of tract structures. DSBs were introduced in vivo by HO nuclease at sites wit...
