RESUMO
In this paper, we describe the movement of a genetically marked Saccharomyces cerevisiae transposon. Ty912(URA3), to new sites in the S. cerevisiae genome. Ty912 is an element present at the HIS4 locus in the his4-912 mutant. To detect movement of Ty912, this element has been genetically marked with the S. cerevisiae URA3 gene. Movement of Ty912(URA3) occurs by recombination between the marked element and homologous Ty elements elsewhere in the S. cerevisiae genome. Ty912(URA3) recombines most often with elements near the HIS4 locus on chromosome III, less often with Ty elements elsewhere on chromosome III, and least often with Ty elements on other chromosomes. These recombination events result in changes in the number of Ty elements present in the cell and in duplications and deletions of unique sequence DNA.
