Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of disease-associated (CTG)*(CAG) expansion may involve DNA replication slippage, replication direction, Okazaki fragment processing, recombination, or repair. A length-dependent bias for expansions is observed in humans affected by a trinucleotide repeat-associated disease. We developed an assay to test the effect of replication direction on (CTG)*(CAG) instabilities incurred during in vitro (SV40)...
