genetic imprinting at mating-type locus
id: GO:0071515
name: genetic imprinting at mating-type locus
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: A genetic imprinting process in which a stable single-strand DNA lesion triggers programmed gene conversion at the mating-type locus, thereby restricting mating-type interconversion to one of the two sister chromatids during DNA replication.
