Simple meiotic gene conversion tracts produced in wild-type females were compared with those from two meiotic mutants, mei-9 and mei-218. The positions and lengths of conversion tracts were determined by denaturing gradient gels and DNA sequencing. Conversion tracts in wild type averaged 885 base pairs in length, were continuous, and displayed no obvious hot spots of initiation. Some unusual conversion events were found in the mei-218 and mei-9 samples, although most events were indistinguishable from wild-type tracts in their length and continuity.
将野生型雌性产生的简单减数分裂基因转换片段与来自两个减数分裂突变体mei-9和mei-218的片段进行比较。通过变性梯度凝胶和DNA测序确定转换片段的位置和长度。野生型中的转换片段平均长度为885个碱基对,是连续的,并且没有明显的起始热点。在mei-218和mei-9样本中发现了一些不寻常的转换事件,尽管大多数事件在长度和连续性上与野生型片段没有区别。
