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
