β¦ Synopsis
As part of a comparative analysis of spontaneous mitotic and meiotic recombination we have compared the mitotic and meiotic maps of the wild type and yeast hybrids homozygous for reml-l, a mitosis-specific hyper-rec mutation (Golin and Esposito, 1977; Golin, 1979). In wild type yeast strains recombination in centromere proximal intervals occurs relatively more frequently in mitosis than in meiosis. In reml-1/rem1-1 hybrids the distribution of mitotic exchange events is more similar to the distribution observed in meiosis.

The time-dependent appearance of prototrophic recombinants between heterologously located artificial repeats has been studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While initial prototrophic colony numbers from independent cultures were highly variable, additional recombinants were found to arise daily at ro
Inhibition of thymidylate biosynthesis has been found to induce deletion of a LEU2 insert from the ribosomal DNA gene cluster of haploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Loss of the insert was detected phenotypically by the enhanced production of both sectored (leu+/leu -) and non-sectored (leu-
