Genetic Recombination in Caulobacter [PDF]
SUMMARY: Auxotrophic, phage-resistant and streptomycin-resistant mutants of Caulobacter were used to demonstrate genetic recombination in this genus. Forty of a possible 170 mating pairs gave recombinant frequencies of from 100 to 1000 times greater than reversion frequencies for the markers used.

Recombination and Population Mosaic of a Multifunctional Viral Gene, Adeno-Associated Virus cap [PDF]
Homologous recombination is a dominant force in evolution and results in genetic mosaics. To detect evidence of recombination events and assess the biological significance of genetic mosaics, genome sequences for various viral populations of reasonably ...

Genetic recombination as DNA repair [PDF]
AbstractMaintenance of sexual reproduction and genetic recombination imposes physiological costs when compared to parthenogenic reproduction, most prominently: for maintaining the corresponding (molecular) machinery, for finding a mating partner, and through the decreased fraction of females in a population, which decreases the reproductive capacity ...

Multilocus sequence analysis of xanthomonads causing bacterial spot of tomato and pepper plants reveals strains generated by recombination among species and recent global spread of Xanthomonas gardneri [PDF]
Four Xanthomonas species are known to cause bacterial spot of tomato and pepper, but the global distribution and genetic diversity of these species are not well understood.

Genetic recombination is targeted towards gene promoter regions in dogs [PDF]
The identification of the H3K4 trimethylase, PRDM9, as the gene responsible for recombination hotspot localization has provided considerable insight into the mechanisms by which recombination is initiated in mammals.

Genetic Engineering by DNA Recombineering
AbstractRecombineering inserts PCR products into DNA using homologous recombination. A pair of short homology arms (50 base pairs) on the ends of a PCR cassette target the cassette to its intended location. These homology arms can be easily introduced as 5′ primer overhangs during the PCR reaction.

Interactions between BRCA2 and RAD51 for promoting homologous recombination in Leishmania infantum. [PDF]
In most organisms, the primary function of homologous recombination (HR) is to allow genome protection by the faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

Genetic recombination in Nocardia asteroides [PDF]
Gene recombination between strains of Nocardia asteroides of diverse origins has been demonstrated. In particular pairwise combinations, recombinants made up 0.01% of the population. All nine selectable recombinant classes were recovered from a cross KK4-47 his-10 leu-1 and KK6-119 met-3 phe-3.

The Landscape of Realized Homologous Recombination in Pathogenic Bacteria [PDF]
Recombination enhances the adaptive potential of organisms by allowing genetic variants to be tested on multiple genomic backgrounds. Its distribution in the genome can provide insight into the evolutionary forces that underlie traits, such as the ...
