DEFINITION

Classification: 435/477

Plasmid or episome contains DNA targeting homologous recombination to bacteriophage, viral, or chromosomal DNA within a microorganism:

(under subclass 476) Processes wherein one or more DNA segments of sufficient length and similarity to target said DNA to a region or regions of DNA in a microbial cell are present on the plasmid or episome, which segment or segments direct homologous recombination into said region or regions in the microorganism.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass is the use of plasmids with one continuous segment directing single cross-over recombination or two separate flanking segments directing double cross-over recombination.
