RESUMO
A double-strand break in a bacteriophage T7 genome significantly reduced the ability of that DNA to produce viable phage when the DNA was incubated in an in vitro DNA replication and packaging system. When a homologous piece of T7 DNA (either a restriction fragment or T7 DNA cloned into a plasmid) that was by itself unable to form a complete phage was included in the reaction, the break was repaired to the extent that many more viable phage were produced. Moreover, repair could be completed even when a gap of about 900 nucleotides was put in the genome by two nearby restriction cuts. The repair was accompanied by acquisition of a genetic marker that was present only on the restriction fragment or on the T7 DNA cloned into a plasmid. These data are interpreted in light of the double-strand gap repair mode of recombination.
