A novel repeated DNA sequence located in the intergenic regions of bacterial chromosomes. (1990)
Journal Article
Sharples, G., & Lloyd, R. (1990). A novel repeated DNA sequence located in the intergenic regions of bacterial chromosomes. Nucleic Acids Research, 18(22), 6503-6508

We report the discovery of a novel group of highly conserved DNA sequences located within the intergenic regions of the chromosomes of Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium and other bacteria. These intergenic repeat units (IRUs) are 124-127 nucle... Read More about A novel repeated DNA sequence located in the intergenic regions of bacterial chromosomes..

Molecular and functional analysis of the ruv region of Escherichia coli K-12 reveals three genes involved in DNA repair and recombination. (1990)
Journal Article
Sharples, G., Benson, F., Illing, G., & Lloyd, R. (1990). Molecular and functional analysis of the ruv region of Escherichia coli K-12 reveals three genes involved in DNA repair and recombination. Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 221(2), 219-226

Recombinant plasmids carrying ruvA, ruvB, or both were constructed and used to investigate the genetic defects in a collection of UV-sensitive ruv mutants. The results revealed that efficient survival of UV-irradiated cells depends on both ruvA and r...
