Strand asymmetry had previously been used to identify elements regulating recombination in bacteria:

Bell SJ, Chow YC, Ho JY, Forsdyke DR: Correlation of chi orientation with transcription

indicates a fundamental relationship between recombination and transcription. Gene 1998,

216:285-92.

Lao PJ, Forsdyke DR: Crossover hot-spot instigator (Chi) sequences in Escherichia coli

occupy distinct recombination/transcription islands. Gene 2000, 243:47-57.
