Conversion tract lengths in wild-type and exo1 strains. Based on the location of LOH regions, we measured conversion tract length in exo1 strains, both spontaneous events and events induced by UV. These data were compared with measurements performed in wild-type strains (St. Charles and Petes 2013; Yin and Petes 2013). (A) Comparison of UV-induced crossover-associated gene conversion tracts in wild-type and exo1 strains. A total of 107 and 27 conversion tracts were examined in the wild-type and exo1 strains, respectively. (B) Comparison of UV-induced conversion tracts in the exo1 strain. Twenty-seven of the conversion tracts were crossover associated and 54 were unassociated with crossovers. (C) Comparison of spontaneous crossover-associated conversion tracts in wild-type and exo1 strains. One hundred two conversion tracts were analyzed in the exo1 strain and 139 were examined in the wild-type strain.
