Recombination and recombination-dependent DNA replication in bacteriophage T4.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

General recombination is essential for growth of phage T4, because origin initiation of DNA replication is inactivated during development, and recombination-dependent initiation is necessary for continuing DNA replication. The requirement of recombination for T4 growth has apparently been a drivi...
