We have studied the meiotic recombination behavior of strains carrying two types of duplications of an 18.6-kilobaseHIS4 BamHI fragment. The first type is a direct duplication of theHIS4 BamHI fragment in which the repeated sequences are separated byEscherichia coliplasmid sequences. The second type, a tandem duplication, has no sequences intervening between the repeated yeast DNA. TheHIS4genes in each region were marked genetically so that recombination events between the duplicated segments could be identified. Meiotic progeny of the strains carrying the duplication were analyzed genetically and biochemically to determine the types of recombination events that had occurred. Analysis of the directvs. tandem duplication suggests that theE. coliplasmid sequences are recombinogenic in yeast when homozygous. In both types of duplications recombination between the duplicatedHIS4regions occurs at high frequency and involves predominantly interchromosomal reciprocal exchanges (equal and unequal crossovers). The striking observation is that intrachromosomal reciprocal recombination is very rare in comparison with interchromosomal reciprocal recombination. However, intrachromosomal gene conversion occurs at about the same frequency as interchromosomal gene conversion. Reciprocal recombination events between regions on the same chromatid are the most infrequent exchanges. These data suggest that intrachromosomal reciprocal exchanges are suppressed.
