Abstract excerpt

A screen for host mutations which increase the rate of transposition of Ty1 and Ty2 into a chromosomal target was used to identify factors influencing retroelement transposition. The fortuitous presence of a mutation in the CAC3 gene in the strain in which this screen was undertaken enabled us to discover that double mutaions of cac3 and hir3, but neither of the two single mutations, caused a dramatic increase in...
