Transitory recombination between plasmid pHV33 and phage M13.
Plasmid pHV33 and phage M13 which have no homology exceeding 13 bp, combine in Escherichia coli cells. The chimeric genome is encapsidated in phage proteins and injected into a recipient cell, where it decombines to regenerate the two parental genomes. We call this combination-decombination process 'transitory recombination'.
