The lambda red proteins promote efficient recombination between diverged sequences: implications for bacteriophage genome mosaicism.
Genome mosaicism in temperate bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) is so great that it obscures their phylogeny at the genome level. However, the precise molecular processes underlying this mosaicism are unknown. Illegitimate recombination has been proposed, but homeologous recombination could also be...
