Chi in phage lambda is a genetic element increasing the rate of recombination in its vicinity. Chi activity requires the wild-type functions of both the recA and the recB genes of E. coli. In terms of the pathway concept for recombination, Chi is active in the RecBC pathway and inactive in the Red, RecE., and RecF pathways.
噬菌体λ中的χ是一种遗传元件,可提高其附近区域的重组率。χ活性需要大肠杆菌recA和recB基因的野生型功能。就重组的途径概念而言,χ在RecBC途径中具有活性,而在Red、RecE和RecF途径中无活性。
