BME 130 – Genomes Lecture 23 Genome evolution I: Mutations, repair, and recombination
2
Transitions A G C T Transversions A C A T C G T G
3
When and how do mutations happen?
4
DNA polymerases are not perfect: DNA polIII error rate =~ 1 x 10 -7
6
Minimizing polymerase error
7
Polymerase slippage leads to indels
8
Slippage can get progressively worse
9
Mutagens and other -agens
10
Chemical mutagens

DNA repair
26
Minor pathway
30
Recognizes distortion of DNA double helix
31
Similar concept for eukaryotes; TFIIH helicase is used; transcription coupled repair
32
Base mismatch: who is right?
34
DNA break repair
37
SOS! (why only in bacteria?)
