Mobile Element Integration Reveals a Chromosome Dimer Resolution System in Legionellales
ABSTRACT In bacteria, the mechanisms used to repair DNA lesions during genome replication include homologous recombination between sister chromosomes. This can lead to the formation of chromosome dimers if an odd number of crossover events occurs. The dimers must be resolved before cell separation t...
