Physical analyses of E. coli heteroduplex recombination products in vivo: on the prevalence of 5' and 3' patches.

Homologous recombination in Escherichia coli creates patches (non-crossovers) or splices (half crossovers), each of which may have associated heteroduplex DNA. Heteroduplex patches have recombinant DNA in one strand of the duplex, with parental flanking markers. Which DNA strand is exchanged in hete...
