Fragments generated after digestion of one of these plasmids, p1414, were employed as a probe for blot hybridization with identical fragments of other plasmids. The data obtained suggest that nearly all the studied plasmids possess a common homology site that occupies a significant plasmid portion. Regions of detectable and weak homology were located throughout this site. Moreover, plasmid p1414 was shown to carry a large site that lacks homology with plasmids belonging to two groups. Eventually, one of these plasmids demonstrates complete lack of homology with the remaining plasmids.Read More
