Holliday Junction Processing in Bacteria: Insights from the Evolutionary Conservation of RuvABC, RecG, and RusA

Homologous recombination is a fundamental cellular process that rearranges genes within and between chromosomes, promotes DNA repair, and guides segregation of chromosomes at division. It provides, therefore, a potent evolutionary force that serves both to promote genetic diversity and to conserve
