Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, proximity to a telomere affects both transcription and replication of adjacent DNA. In this study, we show that telomeres also impose a position effect on mitotic recombination. The rate of recombination between directly repeated tracts of telomeric C1-3A/TG1-3 DNA was reduced severely by proximity to a telomere. In contrast, recombination of two control substrates was not affected by...
