Oxidative DNA damage is a threat to genome stability. Using a genetic system in yeast that allows detection of mitotic recombination, we found that the frequency of crossovers is greatly elevated when cells are treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Using a combination of microarray analysis and genomic sequencing, we mapped the breakpoints of mitotic recombination events and other chromosome rearrangements at a resolution of about 1 kb. Gene conversions and crossovers were the two most common t ...[more]
