Abstract excerpt
The frequency of genetic deletion between directly repeated DNA sequences in bacteriophage T7 was measured as a function of the length of the direct repeat. The non-essential ligase gene (gene 1.3) of bacteriophage T7 was interrupted with pieces of synthetic DNA bracketed by direct repeats of various lengths. Deletion of these 76 bp long inserts was too low to be measured when the direct repeats were less than 6...
