Two mutants of Neurospora crassa, uvs-3 and mei-3, share four properties--uv sensitivity, inhibition by histidine, meiotic blockage when homozygous, and increased duplication instability (due to mitotic crossing over, to deletions or to both). The present paper shows that a third nonallelic mutant, uvs-6, exhibits the same four properties. Also, the instability of duplications in the absence of any uv-sensitive mutant is increased by the presence of histidine in the growth medium.
