Genetics - 1 Jul 1997
Galitski T, Roth J R
Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination pathways probably evolved primarily to accomplish chromosomal repair and the formation of and resolution of duplications by sister-chromosome exchanges. Various DNA lesions initiate these events. Classical recombination assays, involving bacterial sex, focus attention on double-strand ends of DNA. Sexual exchanges, initiated at these ends, depend on the RecBCD pathway. In the absence of...
