Analysis of RecA-independent recombination events between short direct repeats related to a genomic island and to a plasmid in Escherichia coli K12

RecA-independent recombination events between short direct repeats, leading to deletion of the intervening sequences, were found to occur in two genetic models in the Escherichia coli K12 background. The first model was a small E. coli genomic island which had been shown to be mobile in its strain o...
