Reconstructing the duplication history of a tandem repeat.

Abstract excerpt

One of the less well understood mutational transformations that act upon DNA is tandem duplication. In this process, a stretch of DNA is duplicated to produce two or more adjacent copies, resulting in a tandem repeat. Over time, the copies undergo additional mutations so that typically, multiple approximate tandem copies are present. An interesting feature of tandem repeats is that the duplicated copies are...
