Term Name:	mating-type locus imprinting
Synonyms:	genetic imprinting at mating-type locus, genomic imprinting at mating-type locus, mating type determination, imprinting
Definition:	A genomic imprinting process in which a stable single-strand DNA lesion triggers programmed gene conversion at the mating-type locus, thereby restricting mating-type interconversion to one of the two sister chromatids during DNA replication.
