Abstract excerpt

Spontaneous and double-strand break (DSB)-induced gene conversion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was assayed using non-tandem chromosomal direct repeat crosses and plasmid x chromosome crosses. Each cross involved identical ura3 alleles marked with phenotypically silent restriction fragment length p...
