Abstract excerpt

Mutations induced by the integration of a Mu gem2ts mutant prophage can revert at frequencies around 1 x 10(-6), more than 10(4)-fold higher than that obtained with Mu wild-type. Several aspects characterize Mu gem2ts precise excision: (i) the phage transposase is not involved; (ii) the RecA prot...
