Site-specific recombination by serine integrases. Cleavage leads to a state in which half-sites can be exchanged by rotation (upper right to lower right). Hybridization and religation after an odd number of half turns will result in recombination (lower left); religation after an even number of half turns returns to the parental state (upper left).
