Abstract excerpt
Despite their importance to human genetic variation and disease, little is known about the molecular mechanisms and environmental risk factors that impact copy number variant (CNV) formation. While it is clear that replication stress can lead to de novo CNVs, for example, following treatment of cultured mammalian cells with aphidicolin (APH) and hydroxyurea (HU), the effect of different types of mutagens on CNV...
