Abstract excerpt

Competitions between matched pairs of diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one capable of undergoing sexual recombination (MAT-heterozygous) and the other not (MAT-homozygous), have proved useful for measuring the effects of mitotic and meiotic recombination and DNA repair on competitive...
