TS downstream of RTS1.

(A) Map showing sites of insertion for the direct repeat recombination reporter on chromosome 3. (B) Schematic of the direct repeat recombination reporter showing the position of RTS1 insertion and two types of Ade+ recombinant. Asterisks indicate the position of point mutations in ade6-L469 and ade6-M375. (C) Ade+ recombinant frequencies for strains MCW429, MCW7229, MCW7429, MCW7430, MCW7297, MCW4712, MCW7131, MCW7257, MCW7565, MCW7614, MCW7326, MCW4713, MCW7133, MCW7259, MCW7567, MCW7616 and MCW7328. ‘0*’ indicates that RTS1 is positioned between the ade6- repeats. Data are mean values ± SD. Ade+ recombinant frequencies with statistical analysis are also shown in Supplementary file 1.

Model for TS between direct repeats.

Parental DNA strands are dark blue, nascent DNA strands are light blue and DNA repeats are yellow. The grey line in steps 5, 6, 7a and 8a indicates that the light blue and yellow lines, which it connects, are continuous. See main text for a step-by-step description of the model.
