Gene - 2 Jan 1991

Abstract excerpt
Bacterial host cells of different rec genotypes were used to investigate genetic requirements of ultraviolet light (UV)-induced homologous plasmid-chromosome recombination. Plasmid DNAs which contained a wt or mutant lacY gene were irradiated with UV prior to transformation into Escherichia coli host strains which contained the complementary lacY allele. Surviving transformants were screened to determine the...
