Abstract excerpt
Copy number variations (CNVs) in the human genome contribute significantly to disease. De novo CNV mutations arise via genomic rearrangements, which can occur in 'trans', i.e. via interchromosomal events, or in 'cis', i.e. via intrachromosomal events. However, what molecular mechanisms occur between chromosomes versus between or within chromatids has not been systematically investigated. We hypothesized that...
