Sister chromatid exchange frequencies in Escherichia coli analyzed by recombination at the dif resolvase site.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 Dec 1998
Steiner W W, Kuempel P L
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...
