Abstract excerpt
We have studied whether spontaneous intrachromosomal recombination is altered in methylation tolerant human cells with a defect in mismatch repair. Somatic recombination was analysed in HeLaMR cells containing the vector pTPSN, which carries two copies of the gene for hygromycin resistance. The hygromycin genes are both inactivated by an inserted HindIII linker but hygromycin-resistant clones can arise by...
