Characterization of blasticidin S-resistant mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

abstract：:Retrotransposons are activated as organisms age, based on work from several model systems. Since these mobile DNA elements can promote genome instability, this has raised the possibility that they can contribute to loss of cellular function with age. Many questions remain to be addressed about the relationship between...
