Repeat-Induced Point Mutation in Fungi: A Fungal-Specific Endogenous Mutagenesis Process

Repeat-Induced Point Mutation in Fungi: A Fungal-Specific Endogenous Mutagenesis Process

Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a form of genome mutation that is targeted towards repeated DNA sequences and which is observed only in certain fungal taxa; the Pezizomycotina (filamentous Ascomycota) and some species of the Basidiomycota. RIP is widely believed to have evolved to protect fun...
