gene conversion at mating-type locus

Term ID

GO:0007534

Synonyms

• gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA double-strand break formation
• gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA double-strand break processing
• gene conversion at mating-type locus, DNA repair synthesis
• gene conversion at mating-type locus, termination of copy-synthesis
• heteroduplex formation involved in gene conversion at mating-type locus
• strand invasion involved in gene conversion at mating-type locus

Definition

The conversion of the mating-type locus from one allele to another resulting from the recombinational repair of a site-specific double-strand break at the mating-type locus with information from a silent donor sequence. There is no reciprocal exchange of information because the mating-type locus copies information from the donor sequence and the donor sequence remains unchanged. (3)
