Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination-deficient deletions in bacteriophage lambda and their interaction with chi mutations.
David Henderson,Jon Weil +1 more
TL;DR: The results are consistent with the hypothesis put forward by Lam et al., that chi enhances the frequency of Rec-promoted recombination, which provides the only pathway for production of maturable DNA in a red gam infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletion analysis of two nonessential regions of the T4 genome.
Theodore Homyk,Jon Weil +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the deletions were mapped genetically, making use of their effect on plaque morphology, and by electron microscopy of DNA heteroduplexes to T2, a T2 T4 hybrid, and T4 wild type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombination in bacteriophage λ: III. Studies on the nature of the prophage attachment region☆☆☆★
TL;DR: It is very likely that the att in phage λ is structurally different from the corresponding one in its host Escherichia coli, and the results suggest that structural elements affecting Int-promoted recombination frequency lie on both sides of the Int-produced crossover locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of λp4, a λ derivative containing 9% excess DNA
TL;DR: In the first application of this approach, a prophage genome containing 9% excess DNA is constructed, whose density and rate of heat inactivation indicate they contain the complete genome in a normal capsid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature and origin of a class of essential gene substitutions in bacteriophage λ
David Henderson,Jon Weil +1 more
TL;DR: The finding that the DNA is rescuable from many E. coli strains and that other fragments of the bacterial genome are not rescued supports this hypothesis that the p 4 DNA may be part of a larger cryptic fragment.
