Abstract excerpt
Plasmid p15B and the genome of bacteriophage P1 are closely related, but their site-specific DNA inversion systems, Min and Cin, respectively, do not have strict structural homology. Rather, the complex Min system represents a substitution of a Cin-like system into an ancestral p15B genome. The substituting sequences of both the min recombinase gene and the multiple invertible DNA segments of p15B are,...
