A DNA repair system whereby one member of a mismatched pair of bases is converted to the normally matched base.
Example sentencesExamples
- In summary, we suggest that the HSM3 gene is not likely to be involved in regulating DNA mismatch repair under standard growth conditions.
- A nearest-neighbor bias around the mutated base pair suggests that mismatch repair counteracts alkylation damage.
- This trend may be explained by variation in mutational tendencies or by biased mismatch repair after gene conversion events.
- These effects were examined in an otherwise wild-type background and in combination with defects in DNA mismatch repair or specialized DNA polymerases.
- Six of these studies involved mismatch repair of heteroduplex plasmid DNA in mitotic wild-type strains.
