Differential colony hybridisation has been used to identify DNA sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae corresponding to RNA transcripts whose levels increase 5-10 fold following UV-irradiation. Four sequences have been identified, three of which share sequence homology and hybridize to the same set of genomic DNA fragments. The fourth sequence appears to be distinct, however each DNA sequence hybridizes to a similar sized RNA transcript which is approximately 4.0 kb long. The relationships between these DNA sequences and their potential protein products is discussed.

D014158	Transcription, Genetic	The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION.	Genetic Transcription
D014466	Ultraviolet Rays	That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
