Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination between dispersed repeated genetic elements is an important source of genetic variation. In this review, we discuss chromosome rearrangements that are a consequence of homologous recombination between transposable elements in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The review will be divided into five sections: (1) Introduction (mechanisms of homologous recombination involving ectopic...
