Figure 1.
Schematic representation of protein–DNA complexes in VDJ recombination. Blue and yellow rectangles represent the coding segments to be recombined (exemplified as Vλ and Jλ). The 12-RSS and 23-RSS are represented as white and black triangles, respectively. The red rectangle represents the newly generated nucleotide sequence at coding junction and the gray represents protein complexes.
