Abstract excerpt
We have used closely flanking molecular markers located approximately 4 kb distal and 6 kb proximal of the am locus to investigate the incidence of crossover events associated with the generation of prototrophic recombinants in a cross heteroallelic am1 am6. Ninety-three percent of prototrophs were generated by events that did not recombine the molecular markers, indicating that simple conversion accounts for the...
