Recombination-transformation, Transduction, and Conjugation
نویسنده
چکیده
Evolution and the enormous diversity among terrestrial organisms are caused by mutation, transduction, conjugation, and recombination. Recombination is the major and most basic factor that increases and decreases chromosomal and genetic components. I would like to review studies on homologous and non-homologous recombination, meiotic and somatic recombination, and the applications of basic mechanisms of recombination today, such as genetically modified plants and foods.

متن کاملGenetic Transformation of Amylase Gene to Ruminal Bacteroides Species Using Conjugation Consequence for Improvement of Rumen Enzyme
Rumen bacterial strains can potentially be manipulated to perform functions different from wild type species. The most numerous species of bacteria in the rumen and gut are species of the familyBacteroidetes, whichcan have the potential for genetic modification for enzyme production. One of the genetic manipulation of rumen bacteria can perform for production of starch digestive enzyme for the ...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of the Escherichia coli chromosome. V. Recombination patterns among strains of diverse origin.
Incorporation patterns of donor DNA into recipient chromosomes following transduction or conjugation have been studied in the progeny of a variety of Escherichia coli crosses in which donor and recipient nucleotide sequences differ by 1-3%. Series of contiguous or variously spaced PCR fragments have been amplified from each recombinant chromosome and digested with a commercial restriction endon...
متن کاملAn assessment of the risks associated with the use of antibiotic resistance genes in genetically modified plants: report of the Working Party of the British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy.
Development of genetically modified (GM) plants is contentious, in part because bacterial antibiotic resistance (AR) genes are used in their construction and often become part of the plant genome. This arouses concern that cultivation of GM plants might provide a reservoir of AR genes that could power the evolution of new drug-resistant bacteria. We have considered bacterial DNA transfer system...

On this occasion of sharing the high honor of a Nobel Award with Edward L. Tatum for our" . . . discovery that genes act by regulating chemical events", and with Joshua Lederberg for his related" . . . discoveries concerning the organization of the genetic material of bacteria", it seems appropriate that I sketch briefly the background events that led to the work on Neurospora that Tatum and I ...
