title: pBR322 and other pSC101 derivatives have a gene fragment related to the mini-F plasmid resolvase.
abstract: Sequence comparisons have shown that part of pBR322 and other pSC101 derivatives contain a remnant resolvase gene closely related to that of plasmid mini-F. This observation illuminates part of the history of these plasmids.
