To study the excision of bacteriophage Mu at the DNA sequence level, the Mu-derived phage lambda placMu3 was transposed to the transcribed but non-translated leader region of a plasmid-borne tetracycline (tet) resistance gene. Revertants (excision products) were then selected by Tet+ restoration of
Ultraviolet mutagenesis in bacteriophage T4 proceeds via error-prone repair (EPR) and requires the functional integrity of the uvsWXY system which mediates genetic recombination, recombinational repair, and mutability by diverse DNA damaging agents. Current opinion holds that mutagens acting through
