Abstract excerpt
The formation of heterozygous tandem duplications was studied in conjugational crosses of Escherichia coli using mutations for deo-operon genes. The frequency of tandem duplications in recF::Tn3 and recBC sbcB mutants was not substantially changed from that of the wild type strain. In contrast, the frequency of duplications was increased about ten-fold when using recBC (sbcB+) mutants as recipients. This result...
