PCR co-amplification of two distinct HIV1 tat gene sequences lead to the formation of recombinant DNA molecules. The frequency of such recombinants, up to 5.4% of all amplified molecules, could be decreased 2.7 fold by a 6 fold increase In Taq DNA polymerase elongatlon time. Crossover sites mapped essentially to three discrete regions suggesting specific Taq DNA polymerase pause or termination sites. PCR mediated recombination may be a problem when studying heterogeneous genetic material such as RNA viruses, multigene families, or repetitive sequences. This phenomenon can be exploited to create chimeric molecules from related sequences.
