Chi sites are examples of special sites enhancing homologous recombination in their region of the chromosome. Chi, SG-C-T-G-G-T-G-GY, is a recognition site for the RecBC enzyme, which nicks DNA near Chi as it unwinds DNA. A molecular model ofgenetic recombination incorporating these features is revi

The host He&C recombination pathway is inefficient for point mutants of phage X dofcrtivc in the viral general recombination pathway. This low level of X recombination can bc increased substantially by the presence of an additional point mut.ation in the gam gene of h or by the presence of a pathway
The frequency of occurrence and the genetic structure of polylysogens were studied for phages lambda, phi 80 and lambda att80. In the case of lambda, frequency of polylysogenization is high (0.20 to 0.41) with a tandem integration of prophages at the primary att site (att lambda). With phi 80 and la
