Recombination
[edit]The link to bacterial recombination in the summary of his research goes to an article that discusses eukaryotic recombination. I think the Avery–MacLeod–McCarty experiment might be more more helpful. I do not know exactly what Tatum and colleagues did, but, from what I see, I think they did not work on eukaryotic recombination. AJim (talk) 00:57, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
Got it. Bacterial conjugation, 1946 Lederberg and Tatum. Going to fix the article.
