Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with DNA by the lithium acetate method. Mutation of nonselected markers on the transforming vector was observed at a frequency several orders of magnitude higher than spontaneous mutation frequencies. These mutations were shown to be deletions. Linearization of the vector before transformation stimulated deletion formation.
