Abstract excerpt
We have shown elsewhere that there is no, or very little, homology at the recombination sites in DNA gyrase-mediated illegitimate recombination in vitro. On the other hand, many reports have indicated that illegitimate recombination takes place between sequences with a short homology. To clarify this contradiction, we analyzed the mechanism of DNA gyrase-mediated illegitimate recombination in vivo, by isolating a...
