Abstract excerpt
Genetic information can be altered by base substitutions, frameshift mutations, and addition or deletion of nucleotides. Deletions represent an important class of genetic aberration occurring at DNA sequences where it is often possible to predict the existence of intermediates of mutation. Instability within tracts of repetitive sequence have recently been associated with several genetic disorders, including the...
