Abstract:
:We have explained some experimental data of the homologous recombination and the genetic interference in terms of one-dimensional random walk over discrete sites. We first review our previous results. Next, we modify our random-walk model for the homologous recombination into a continuous-site model, and discuss a possible explanation for the previous experimental data obtained by means of the plasmid having one-side homology. Finally, we show that a reaction between an intermediate and a product is indispensable in explaining the genetic interference in terms of our reaction-diffusion model.
