Deletion of
RTT105 leads to an increased rate of gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs). Wild‐type (WT) and
rtt105Δ mutant strains integrated with the yWSS439‐5oriΔ yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). GCRs rates in the evaluation of telomere marker loss were assayed and calculated as previously described (Huang & Koshland,
2003). Data represent the mean (±SD) of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was evaluated based on Student's
t‐tests (**0.001 ≤
P‐value < 0.01).
