Destabilization of tracts of simple repetitive DNA in yeast by mutations affecting DNA mismatch repair

Explore this paper's citation graph

Summary

It is shown that mutations in any three yeast genes involved in DNA mismatch repair lead to 100- to 700-fold increases in tract instability, whereas mutations that eliminate the proof-reading function of DNA polymerases have little effect.
