Abstract excerpt
The current concept of how the highly homologous Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal crystal protein genes (cry genes) evolved is through recombination among themselves. The cryIA gene family, which is more than 80% identical, consists of only three known genes, even through they are often found together in the same bacterium. To examine the lack of diversity among these genes, recombinatorial chimeric protein...
