THE MECHANISM OF GENETIC RECOMBINATION IN ESCHERICHIA COLI

Hayes, W.·1953·Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology

Abstract

The inclusion in a symposium on viruses of a paper devoted exclusively to the problems of sexu-ality in bacteria may appear to some of you to be inapt. There is, in fact, a two-fold justification for this inclusion. Firstly, the genetic system of Es-cherichia coli is the only tool at present available for the genetic analysis of the relationship of pro-virus to the cell and of its inheritance by progeny; but the anomalies hitherto apparent in the attempt to apply the concepts of classical genetics to this system have limited its usefulness. Secondly, there is now evidence that a transmissible agent, display-ing many unique attributes but which can properly be termed a virus within the existing rather loose connotation of that word, plays a dominant role

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
