Asymmetric gene conversion at inserted segments on yeast mitochondrial DNA.
Different molecular weight forms of the protein product of the yeast mitochondrial gene var 1 are shown at arise by a process of asymmetric gene conversion. These different forms can be accounted by two DNA segments, 36 and 57 base pairs long, present in one allelic form of the var 1 structural gene, which can be inserted independently and at different frequencies into other var 1 alleles.
