Synonyms
genetic imprinting at mating-type locus, genomic imprinting at mating-type locus, mating type determination, imprinting

Definition
A genomic 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. Source: PMID:14765111, GOC:mah, PMID:18723894
