Mobile element integration reveals a chromosome dimer resolution system in Legionellales
2021-09-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> In bacteria, the mechanisms used to repair DNA lesions during genome replication include homologous recombination between sister chromosomes. This can lead to the formation of chromosome dimers if an odd number of crossover events occurs. The concatenated DNA must be resolved before cell separation to ensure genomic stability and cell viability. The broadly conserved dif /Xer system counteracts...
