Gene segment selection in V(D)J recombination: accessibility and beyond.
Nature immunology - 1 Jul 2003

Abstract excerpt
V(D)J recombination assembles genes encoding antigen receptors according to defined developmental programs in immature B and T lymphocytes. The 'accessibility hypothesis' was initially invoked to explain how a single recombinase complex could control the locus and allele specificity of V(D)J recombination. It has been since shown that recombination signal sequences themselves influence recombination efficiency...
