Imprecise excision of the P{EPgy2}Msh6EY07308 insertion, resulting in a deletion of Msh6 sequences. Part of the 5' end of the original insertion remains.
Msh610/Msh668 mutants show a large increase in the incidence of postmeiotic segregation among both crossover and noncrossover products of meiotic recombination, as heteroduplex DNA (hDNA) often goes unrepaired during meiotic recombination in the mutants. hDNA amd gene conversion tracts are frequently discontinuous in the mutants, with multiple transitions between gene conversion, restoration and unrepaired hDNA.
