    Abstract:

    The nitrofuran derivative furylfuramide (AF-2) is known to be both mutagenic and carcinogenic in a number of test systems. In this report we show that AF-2 can also induce gene conversion in diploid yeast in a manner dependent on both duration treatment and concentration.

    Gene Conversion

    Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...
