Abstract excerpt
Non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) is one of the key mechanisms of DNA rearrangement. NAHR occurring between direct homologous repeats can generate genomic copy number variation (CNV) and make significant contributions to both genome evolution and human diseases such as cancer. Intriguingly, previous observations on the rare CNVs at certain genomic disorder loci suggested that NAHR frequency could be...
