Abstract excerpt
Inheritance of the active and inactive states of gene expression by individual cells is crucial for development. In fission yeast, mating-type region consists of three loci called mat1, mat2, and mat3. Transcriptionally silent mat2 and mat3 loci are separated by a 15 kb interval, designated the K-region, and serve as donors of information for transcriptionally active mat1 interconversion. In a strain carrying...
