A comparison of small circular DNA molecules in psi+ and psi- strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The psi+ and psi- phenotypes, which affect the efficiency of ochre suppression in yeast, are inherited in a non-Mendelian fashion. There is no apparent difference in length or in length distribution of 2 micronm circular DNA molecules between psi+ and psi- strains. It seems that the psi genetic determinant is probably not connected with the presence or absence of these small circular DNA molecules.
