Spontaneous and induced mitotic recombinations are driven by lesions such as single-strand nicks and gaps and double-strand breaks in the genome. For regions of the genome that are not repetitive, spontaneous recombination rates are too low to be detected by simple screening and require reporters where a recombination product can be selected. This chapter describes commonly used types of reporters where a gene is duplicated as direct repeats and both copies are mutated with different mutations, rendering the cell defective for the gene
