Characterization of gross genome rearrangements in Deinococcus radiodurans recA mutants
Abstract Genome stability in radioresistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans depends on RecA, the main bacterial recombinase. Without RecA, gross genome rearrangements occur during repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Long repeated (insertion) sequences have been identified as hot spots for ectopic...
