DNA Holliday junction. Molecular model of a Holliday junction (centre) between homologous strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The structure is named after Robin Holliday. A Holliday junction forms during crossing over,a natural genetic process that occurs between homologous chromosomes and leads to the switching of genetic material between the chromosomes. This recombination increases the genetic variation in a population. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colored artistically in rainbow colors | |
