Abstract excerpt
In vertebrate antigen receptor gene rearrangement, V(D)J recombination events can occur by deletion or by inversion. For deletional events, the signal joint is deleted from the genome. Nearly half of the immunoglobulin light chain genes undergo V(D)J recombination in an inversional manner, and both signal and coding joint formation must occur to retain chromosomal integrity. But given the undetermined amount of...
