Abstract
There has been significant progress in elucidating the mechanisms by which meiotic and mitotic recombination occur. Double-strand breaks in particular have been the object of attention in studies on meiotic gene conversion, site-specific mitotic recombination, the repair of transposon excision and the transformation of cells with linearized DNA. A combination of genetic analysis and physical studies of molecular recombination intermediates have established that double-strand breaks can occur by two different mechanisms.Mesh:
