Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent segmental duplications are relatively large (> or = 1 kb) genomic regions of high sequence identity (> or = 90%). They cover approximately 4-5% of the human genome and play important roles in gene evolution and genomic disease. The DNA sequence differences between copies of a segmental duplication represent the result of various mutational events over time, since any two duplication copies...
