Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase template switching between short, non-identical inverted repeats (IRs) is a genetic mechanism that leads to the homogenization of IR arms and to IR spacer inversion, which cause multinucleotide mutations (MNMs). It is unknown if and how template switching affects gene evolution. In this study, we performed a phylogenetic analysis to determine the effect of template switching between IR arms on...
