Analysis of the functional domains of the mismatch repair homologue Msh1p and its role in mitochondrial genome maintenance.

abstract：:International efforts are underway that aim at determining the complete genome sequence of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. As strategy, a whole chromosome shotgun (WCS) approach was chosen and each of the six Dictyostelium chromosomes was assigned to project partners. The project is well advanced, chromoso...
