| Abstract | Homothallic switching of yeast mating type (MAT) genes is a highly efficient gene conversion process initiated by a double-strand break. The use of a galactose-inducible HO endonuclease gene has made it possible to analyze the synchronous progression of molecular intermediates during recombination. When MATa switches to MAT alpha, a 3' single-stranded end of HO-cleaved MAT DNA invades the homologous donor, HML alpha, and initiates copying of new DNA sequences. These early steps of recombination can be detected by PCR amplification. When recombination is initiated in a strain carrying the MATa-stk T-->A base pair substitution mutation located 8 bp to the right of the HO endonuclease cleavage site, the stk mutation is frequently included in heteroduplex DNA formed between MAT and HML and undergoes mismatch correction. We have followed the kinetics of mismatch repair of the stk mutation by determining the DNA sequence of the PCR-amplified early intermediates of recombination. Mismatch correction of heteroduplex DNA is quite rapid (t1/2 = 6-10 min) compared to the 60 min required to complete repair of the double-strand break. Mismatch repair occurs soon after the 3'-ended MAT-stk strand invades HML and forms heteroduplex DNA. Moreover, nearly all the correction events are restorations, in which the invading MAT-stk strand is corrected to the genotype of the resident HML donor. This rapid restoration ensures that the net result will be a gene conversion at the MAT locus. Rapid and preferential mismatch repair of heteroduplex DNA has important implications in understanding meiotic recombination. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
