Chi in phage 
is a genetic element increasing the rate
of recombination in its vicinity. Chi activity requires the wild-type functions
of both the recA and the recB genes of E. coli.
In terms of the pathway concept for recombination, Chi is active in the RecBC
pathway and inactive in the Red, RecE, and RecF pathways.
