Chi's are genetic elements that stimulate generalized recombination in their locale in phage λ. All Chi's, wherever located on λ's chromosome, act asymmetrically in crosses blocked in DNA replication: (1) They stimulate exchange primarily to their left on the conventional λ map, and (2) the stimulated exchange is frequently nonreciprocal, the recombinant carrying the Chi element being produced less often than the complementary product.
