Sequence of a 2.6-kb cryptic plasmid from a marine cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp.

abstract：:Unequal crossing-over is involved in genetic duplication and deletion in such diverse genetic systems as Drosophila, bacteria, and animal viruses. It is proposed to be involved in the form of unequal sister chromatid exchange in gene amplification in cultured animal cells and during carcinogenesis. Studies of the proc...
