Abstract excerpt
Repeat-induced point mutation is a genetic process that creates cytosine-to-thymine (C-to-T) transitions in duplicated genomic sequences in fungi. Repeat-induced point mutation detects duplications (irrespective of their origin, specific sequence, coding capacity, and genomic positions) by a recombination-independent mechanism that likely matches intact DNA double helices directly, without relying on the...
