Spontaneous and double-strand break repair-associated quasipalindrome and frameshift mutagenesis in budding yeast: role of mismatch repair

The paper investigates mutation mechanisms during homologous recombination in yeast, showing that mismatch repair suppresses quasipalindrome and frameshift mutations during double-strand break repair.

DNA damage-signaling, homologous recombination and genetic mutation induced by 5-azacytidine and DNA-protein crosslinks in Escherichia coli

This study investigates how 5-azacytidine induces DNA damage, homologous recombination, and genetic mutations in E. coli, revealing Dcm-dependent and -independent mechanisms of mutagenesis and DNA repair.
