Homologous recombination between closely related gene cassettes, such as aadA1 and aadA2, which are 89% identical, can create hybrid cassettes and hybrids of existing cassette arrays. A new cassette array, dfrA12-orfF-aadA8b, which was created by such a recombination event occurring within the aadA2 cassette in the dfrA12-orfF-aadA2 array, has been identified.
密切相关的基因盒之间的同源重组,例如aadA1和aadA2,它们的序列相似度为89%,可以产生杂交基因盒以及现有基因盒阵列的杂交体。已鉴定出一种新的基因盒阵列dfrA12-orfF-aadA8b,它是由dfrA12-orfF-aadA2阵列中的aadA2基因盒内发生的此类重组事件产生的。
