Abstract excerpt

Plasmid pSC101 harbors a 28-bp sequence which is homologous to dif, the target site of the XerC/XerD-dependent recombination system in Escherichia coli. Using a technique which allows very sensitive detection of plasmid loss, we show that recombination at this site, termed psi for pSC101 stabiliz...
