DNA Holliday junction complex. Molecular model of the enzyme FLP recombinase in complex with a Holliday junction between homologous strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A Holliday junction forms during crossing over,a natural genetic process that occurs between homologous chromosomes and leads to the switching of genetic material between the chromosomes. This recombination increases the genetic variation in a population. FLP recombinase is used in genetic engineering to manipulate an organism's DNA during the crossing over process | |
