Genome evolution in yeasts

Life with 6000 Genes

The genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been completely sequenced through a worldwide collaboration. The sequence of 12,068 kilobases defines 5885 potential protein...

Asymmetrical recognition and activity of the I-SceI endonuclease on its site and on intron-exon junctions.

Induction of Homologous Recombination in Mammalian Chromosomes by Using the I-<i>Sce</i>I System of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>

The mitochondrial intron-encoded endonuclease I-SceI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has an 18-bp recognition sequence and, therefore, has a very low probability of cutting DNA, eve...

An intron-encoded protein is active in a gene conversion process that spreads an intron into a mitochondrial gene

Site-specific recombination determined by I-SceI, a mitochondrial group I intron-encoded endonuclease expressed in the yeast nucleus.

Abstract The Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial endonuclease I-SceI creates a double-strand break as the initiating step in the gene conversional transfer of the omega+ intr...
