High impact information on rhsA

 

Biological context of rhsA

  • The rhsA core, the highly conserved portion shared by all rhs loci, comprises a single open reading frame (ORF) 3,714 bp in length [1].
  • Unequal sister-chromatid crossing over between rhsA and rhsB accounts for the frequent tandem duplication of the glyS locus that has been observed by various workers [2].
