Abstract excerpt
The now-classical model of replication slippage can in principle account for both simple deletions and tandem duplications associated with short direct repeats. Invariably, a single replication slippage event is invoked, irrespective of whether simple deletions or tandem duplications are involved. However, we recently identified three complex duplicational insertions that could also be accounted for by a model of...
