Limited variation and maintenance of tight genetic linkage characterize heteroallelic pilE recombination following DNA transformation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 1996

Hill S A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic recombination impacts on neisserial biology in two ways: (i) specific loci undergo rearrangement at high frequency leading to the formation of many different alleles; and (ii) Neisseria, being naturally competent for DNA transformation, provide a means to disseminate the novel alleles throughout a population. In this study pilE was used as a model system to examine heteroallelic recombination following...
