Abstract excerpt
DNA branch migration, a process whereby two homologous DNA duplexes exchange strands, is an essential component of genetic recombination. Models for homologous recombination have invoked spontaneous branch migration as one mechanism for the generation of large regions of heteroduplex DNA. During recombination, two homologous parental duplexes that contain similar, but not identical, sequences are paired and...
