Abstract excerpt
Sequencing of hprt cDNA revealed that three spontaneous mutants in V79 Chinese hamster cells exhibit tandem duplications of exon(s), i.e., either exons 2 and 3 or exon 7. Sequences of different sizes (4.5-8 Kb) were found to be duplicated and inserted in tandem into the hprt gene. These mutants demonstrated spontaneous reversion frequencies which were about 40-fold higher than those observed with other types of...
