Fig. 6. Limiting Sgs1-Mph1 by Rad9 promotes CO in ectopic DSB repair.
a Scheme of the genetic system to test ectopic gene conversion (eGC) in tGI354 background. b Cell viability after DSB in the indicated tGI354 derivative strains (n = 3 independent experiments) combined with the frequency of crossovers (CO) and non-crossovers (NCO) in the survivors measured by PCR analysis. c Southern blot of EcoRI-digested DNA to monitor DSB repair through eGC in the indicated tGI354 derivative strains. CO crossover, NCO non-crossover. d Densitometric analysis of the CO and NCO bands of two biologically independent experiments as in (c). All the data in the figure are presented as mean ± SEM wherever n = 3 or more. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test. See accompanying Source data file.
