Recombination frequency in different mating experiments. Intein-free and intein-containing cells were used in mating experiments, and the number of recombinants was determined as described in ref. 19. Recombination rate is higher when intein-containing cells mate with intein-free cells. Statistical significance by Student t test: *P = 0.016; NS indicates not significant (P = 0.86).
