Sequence conversion during postreplicative adenovirus overlap recombination.

K L Bennett 1, G D Pearson 1
PMCID: PMC45880  PMID: 8433998

Abstract

Sequence conversion efficiently transfers genetic information in high yield during postreplicative adenovirus overlap recombination. This process is intrinsically nonreciprocal, depends on adenovirus-specific strand-displacement replication by both partner molecules, and requires that complementary sequences on displaced strands must exceed a minimal length to form a heteroduplex intermediate.
