ABSTRACT:
Assays for measuring fragility or breakage of chromosomes at trinucleotide repeats in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are provided. These assays can also be used to measure trinucleotide repeat expansion and to screen drugs, proteins and cellular conditions which increase or decrease this expansion.
