TL;DR: Analysis of chromosome maps and genome redundancies reveal that the different yeast lineages have evolved through a marked interplay between several distinct molecular mechanisms, including tandem gene repeat formation, segmental duplication, a massive genome duplication and extensive gene loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Genomics and Molecular Dynamics of DNA Repeats in Eukaryotes
TL;DR: The nature and distribution of dispersed and tandem repeats in eukaryotic genomes in the light of complete (or nearly complete) available genome sequences are described and a unified definition for mini- and microsatellites is proposed that takes into account their biological properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
SRS2 and SGS1 prevent chromosomal breaks and stabilize triplet repeats by restraining recombination.
Alix Kerrest,Ranjith P. Anand,Rangapriya Sundararajan,Rodrigo Bermejo,Giordano Liberi,Bernard Dujon,Catherine H. Freudenreich,Guy-Franck Richard +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Srs2 promotes fork reversal in repetitive sequences, preventing repeat instability and fragility, and in the absence of SRS2 or Sgs1, DNA damage accumulates and is processed by homologous recombination, triggering repeat rearrangements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of hemiascomycete yeasts: genes involved in DNA replication, repair, and recombination.
TL;DR: It is found that proteins belonging to the replication fork and to the nucleotide excision repair pathway were-on the average-more conserved than proteins involved in the checkpoint response to DNA damage or in meiotic recombination.
