Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] A method for preparing DNA libraries of filamentous fungal cells using novel cloned genes involved in the mismatch repair system of filamentous fungal cells. Background of the invention
[0002] The mismatch repair system is a system within a cell that recognizes mismatches in newly synthesized double-stranded DNA sequences.
[0003] Mismatch repair systems can then correct mismatches perceived as errors using the methylated "old" strain as a template, or can mediate degradation of the double-stranded DNA sequence containing the mismatch.
[0004] Independent of the precise mechanism, the end result would be that the "mismatch repair system" would limit the "diversity" within the cell, which manifests itself as double-stranded DNA sequences containing mismatches.
[0005] For example, a double-stranded DNA sequence containing a single mismatch represents a diversity of two different DNA sequences within the cell. If the m...
