NCBIfam type | family |
Short name | recf |
Description
This family is based on the phylogenomic analysis of JA Eisen (1999, Ph.D. Thesis, Stanford University). All proteins in this family for which functions are known are DNA-binding proteins that assist the filamentation of RecA onto DNA for the initiation of recombination or recombinational repair.
