The fission yeast, S. pombe, switches mating type every few cell divisions. Switching is controlled by the genes of the mating-type locus, which consists of 3 components, mat1, mat2-P and mat3-M, each separated by .apprx. 15 kilobases. Copy transposition of P (Plus) or M (Minus) information from mat2-P or mat3-M into the expression locus mat1 mediates cell type switching. The mating-type locus undergoes events at high frequency (10-2-10-6) which stabilize one or other mating type. These events are rearrangements which result in deletion or insertion of DNA between cassettes.
