Large-scale contractions of Friedreich’s ataxia GAA repeats in yeast occur during DNA replication due to their triplex-forming ability

Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) is a human hereditary disease caused by the presence of expanded (GAA)(n) repeats in the first intron of the FXN gene [V. Campuzano et al., Science 271, 1423–1427 (1996)]. In somatic tissues of FRDA patients, (GAA)(n) repeat tracts are highly unstable, with contractions mo...
