The effect of mismatch repair and heteroduplex formation on sexual isolation in Bacillus.

Genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Majewski J, Cohan F M

Abstract excerpt

In Bacillus transformation, sexual isolation is known to be an exponential function of the sequence divergence between donor and recipient. Here, we have investigated the mechanism under which sequence divergence results in sexual isolation. We tested the effect of mismatch repair by comparing a wild-type strain and an isogenic mismatch-repair mutant for the relationship between sexual isolation and sequence...
