Recombination, mutation and the origin of species.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Sept 1995

Cox E C

Abstract excerpt

A major barrier to recombination between bacterial species lies in the mismatch repair system, a complex of proteins that has evolved to proof-read freshly replicated DNA. It now appears that a second system, involving an inducible DNA recombination, repair and mutagenesis pathway, also regulates interspecies recombination, but in a positive way, being required for recombination between Escherichia coli and...
