Transplacement of DNA fragments containing the <jats:italic>ade6-M26</jats:italic> gene to other chromosomal loci has previously demonstrated that the heptamer functions in some, but not all, transplacements, suggesting that hot spot activity depends on chromosomal context. In this study, hot spot activity was tested in the absence of gross DNA changes by using site-directed mutagenesis to create the heptamer sequence at novel locations in the genome. When created by mutagenesis of 1–4 bp in the <jats:italic>ade6</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>ura4</jats:italic> genes, the heptamer was active as a recombination hot spot, in an orientation-independent manner, at all locations tested. Thus, the heptamer sequence can create an active hot spot in other chromosomal contexts, provided that the gross chromosomal structure is not altered; this result is consistent with the hypothesis that a specific higher-order chromatin structure is required for <jats:italic>M26</jats:italic> hot spot activity. </jats:p> Position- and orientation-independent activity of the <i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</i> meiotic recombination hot spot <i>M26</i> Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
