Process for the in vivo recombination of DNA sequences having mismatched bases

摘要

The present invention relates to a process of recombination in vivo of partially homologous DNA sequences having up to 30% of base mismatches. According to its essential characteristic, said sequences are placed together in cells or an organism of which the enzymatic mismatch repair system is defective or has been transitorily inactivated by saturation for the time to obtain recombination between said DNA sequences or in using mutants which increase the intergeneric recombination.
