GO term: mating type switching Help



Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0007533)

Definition: The conversion of a single-cell organism from one mating type to another by the precise replacement of a DNA sequence at the expressed mating type locus with a copy of a sequence from a donor locus.

Synonyms: mating type switching and recombination
