Homology-dependent interactions in phage lambda site-specific recombination.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Kitts P A, Nash H A

Abstract excerpt

General recombination shows a dependence on large regions of homology between the two participating segments of DNA. Many site-specific recombination systems also exhibit a dependence on homology, although in these systems the requirement is limited to a short region (less than 10 base pairs (bp]...
