Abstract

Maintaining genome stability requires that recombination between repetitive sequences be avoided. Because short, repetitive sequences are the most abundant, recombination between sequences that are below a certain length are selectively restricted. Novel alleles of the RAD3 and SSL1 genes, which code for components of a basal transcription and UV-damage-repair complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been found to stimulate recombination between short, repeated sequences. In double mutants, these effects are suppressed, indicating that the RAD3 and SSL1 gene products work together in influencing genome stability. Genetic analysis indicates that this function is independent of UV-damage repair and mutation avoidance, supporting the notion that RAD3 and SSL1 together play a novel role in the maintenance of genome integrity.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
