Abstract excerpt

A model for the recombination-directed replication and amplification of the mtDNA of amphimeric petite mutants of S. cerevisiae is proposed. Replication of an amphimeric master basic unit datA would be initiated in the inverted components a and A. The initiation of replication should be associate...
