The Yeast Mating Type System — A Model for the Regulation of Gene Expression by the Position of a Certain Gene Within the Genome?

  • Conference paper
Biochemistry of Differentiation and Morphogenesis

Abstract

Much to the surprise of many molecular biologists it has become evident in recent time that genomes are dynamic structures in which DNA rearrangements can take place leading to sequence variations between cells of one and the same organism. Besides the well known transpos-able elements in prokaryotes as well as in eukaryotes [1] to which a definite function has not been ascribed until now, there exist mechanisms in which a DNA rearrangement was found involved in changes of gene expression occurring in a regulated manner during development (for review see [2]).
