Abstract excerpt
The bacteriophage T4 segE gene encoding site-specific endonuclease lies between the hoc.1 and uvsW genes. The similar region of T-even-related phage RB30 lacks the segE gene. Here we demonstrate that the phage T4 segE gene is inherited preferably by progeny of mixed infection with RB30. The preferred inheritance of the segE gene depends on its own expression and is based on a non-reciprocal homologous...
