Abstract excerpt
Recombination of an insertion vector into its chromosomal homologue is a conservative event in that both the chromosomal and the vector sequences are preserved. However, gene conversion may accompany homologous recombination of an insertion vector. To examine gene conversion in more detail we have determined the targeting frequencies and the structure of the recombinant alleles generated with a series of vectors...
