Abstract excerpt

The interaction between mutations at the RAD2 and HIM1 genes was studied. The RAD2 gene encodes endonuclease involved in nucleotide excision repair. Mutants at this gene are highly sensitive to the lethal effect of a variety of mutagens. The product of the HIM1 gene is needed for correction of mi...
