摘要: We examined mismatch repair (MMR)-defective diploid strains of budding yeast grown for ∼160 generations to determine whether decreases in spore viability due the uncovering recessive lethal mutations correlated with an increase gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). No GCRs were detected despite dramatic viability, suggesting that frameshift and/or other unrepaired DNA replication lesions play a greater role than instability decreasing MMR-defective strains.
