A stem-loop "kissing" model for the initiation of recombination and the origin of introns.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 1995

Forsdyke D R

Abstract excerpt

Mutations which improve the efficiency of recombination should affect either the proteins which mediate recombination or their substrate, DNA itself. The former mutations would be localized to a few sites. The latter would be dispersed. Studies of hybridization between RNA molecules have suggeste...
