Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The ninR region of phage lambda contains two recombination genes, orf (ninB) and rap (ninG), that were previously shown to have roles when the RecF and RecBCD recombination pathways of E. coli, respectively, operate on phage lambda. RESULTS: When lambda DNA replication is blocked, recombination is focused at the termini of the virion chromosome. Deletion of the ninR region of lambda decreases the...
