Silent but Not Static: Accelerated Base-Pair Substitution in Silenced Chromatin of Budding Yeasts

Subtelomeric DNA in budding yeasts, like metazoan heterochromatin, is gene poor, repetitive, transiently silenced, and highly dynamic. The rapid evolution of subtelomeric regions is commonly thought to arise from transposon activity and increased recombination between repetitive elements. However, w...
