Abstract excerpt
The propagation of lambda phages carrying long perfect palindromes has been compared with that of phages carrying imperfect palindromes with small regions of central asymmetry. The perfect palindromes confer a more deleterious phenotype than those with central asymmetry and the severity of the phenotype declines with the length of asymmetry in the range from O to 27 base pairs. These results argue that a...
