Role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Msh2 and Msh3 repair proteins in double-strand break-induced recombination

Sugawara, Neal, Pâques, Frédéric, Colaiácovo, Mónica, Haber, James E.

When gene conversion is initiated by a double-strand break (DSB), any nonhomologous DNA that may be present at the ends must be removed before new DNA synthesis can be initiated. In Saccharomyces...

Multiple Pathways of Recombination Induced by Double-Strand Breaks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Pâques, Frédéric, Haber, James E.

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been the principal organism used in experiments to examine genetic recombination in eukaryotes. Studies over the past decade have shown that meiotic...

Expansions and Contractions in a Tandem Repeat Induced by Double-Strand Break Repair

Pâques, Frédéric, Leung, Wai-Ying, Haber, James E.

Repair of a double-strand break (DSB) in yeast can induce very frequent expansions and contractions in a tandem array of 375-bp repeats. These results strongly suggest that DSB repair can be a major...
