The repair of double-strand gaps (DSGs) in the plasmid DNA of radiosensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been analyzed. The proportion of repair events that resulted in complete plasmid DNA DSG recovery was close to 100% in Rad+ cells. Mutation rad55 does not influence the efficiency and

We studied the repair of double-strand breaks (DSB) in plasmid DNA introduced into haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The efficiency of repair was estimated from the frequency of transformation of the cells by an autonomously replicated linearized plasmid. The frequency of "lithium
The repair of gamma-ray induced DNA single and double-strand breaks was looked at in wild type and rad18-2 strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae using sucrose gradient centrifugation. It was found that rad18-2 diploid cells could repair single and double-strand breaks induced by gamma-rays.
