Abstract excerpt
A series of plasmids harboring CTG.CAG repeats with double-strand breaks (DSB), single-strand nicks, or single-strand gaps (15 or 30 nucleotides) within the repeat regions were used to determine their capacity to induce genetic instabilities. These plasmids were introduced into Escherichia coli in the presence of a second plasmid containing a sequence that could support homologous recombination repair between the...
