Segments of SV40 DNA having homologous overlapping termini recombine to produce viable genomes in monkey cells. Frequencies of recombination on either side of a deletion marker are non-random; replication and palindromes do not appear to be essential. Since recombination involves host enzymes, a suitable system has been devised for analysing host cell recombination functions.
