Abstract excerpt
Mutations and rearrangements that occur by misalignment during DNA replication are frequent sources of genetic variation in bacteria. Dislocations between a replicating strand and its template at repetitive DNA sequences underlie the mechanism of these genetic events. Such misalignments can be transient or stable and can involve intramolecular or intermolecular DNA mispairing, even pairing across a replication...
