Reciprocal recombination and gene conversion (in short, exchanges) have undoubtedly been playing important roles in molecular evolutionary processes. Such exchanges may be revealed by comparing DNA sequences. However, it is not easy to obtain clear-cut evidence for the occurrence of exchanges betwee

We have developed a procedure for determining the rates of mitotic recombination of an interrupted duplication created by integration of transforming plasmid sequences at the benA, beta-tubulin, locus of Aspergillus nidulans. Transformation of a strain carrying a benomyl-resistant benA allele with p
Spontaneous mitotic recombination was examined in the haploid pso4-1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in the corresponding wild-type strain. Using a genetic system involving a duplication of the his4 gene it was shown that the pso4-1 mutation decreases at least fourfold the spontaneous rate of
