Wavelength dependence of inactivation and mutagenesis in a eucaryotic model system

  • 1. Giessen Univ. (Germany, F.R.). Strahlenzentrum

Description

In this study, forward mutations to canavanine resistance were examined. They depend on a single gene of about 8000 nucleotides. The role of excision repair can be investigated with accordingly deficient mutants. The nature of potentially lethal and premutational lesions can be inferred from photoreactivation studies.
