Abstract excerpt
Sister chromatid exchange (SCE) in Escherichia coli results in the formation of circular dimer chromosomes, which are converted back to monomers by a compensating exchange at the dif resolvase site. Recombination at dif is site specific and can be monitored by utilizing a density label assay that we recently described. To characterize factors affecting SCE frequency, we analyzed dimer resolution at the dif site...
