| Abstract | This paper reports an in vitro system for studying generalized genetic recombination. The system uses extracts from Escherichia coli as a source of enzymes and plasmid DNA molecules as substrates. Unit-size plasmid DNA rings are converted into genomes fused at a region of DNA homology at a frequency of about 5-10% over a period of hours. That the fused structures are the result of recombination is supported by two lines of evidence. When two partially homologous plasmids of different sizes are used as substrates for the in vitro system, intermediates containing one plasmid of each size are obtained. Furthermore, fused structures are not formed with high efficiency in extracts from recombination-deficient (Rec A(-)) cells.DNA synthesis does not appear to be required for the formation of the recombination intermediates; it is possible to omit DNA precursors from the reaction mixture and, furthermore, to develop the fused structures even in the presence of chaintermininating dideoxynucleoside triphosphates. The structures formed in vitro have the basic properties of recombination intermediates previously recovered from intact cells. That is, two genomes are demonstrably fused at a region of homology. However, in one way the molecules formed in vitro have a property less frequently observed in vivo-the fused genomes often appear to be connected over an extended region of homology ranging up to several hundred base pairs in length. This extended region of pairing may indicate the presence of two crossover connections very close together and, as will be discussed, may provide an insight into the mechanism by which the recombination intermediate is formed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
