Abstract excerpt
Duplications in Caenorhabditis elegans spontaneously delete at frequencies ranging from 10(-4) to 10(-5). We have analyzed the structure and mitotic stability of 33 deleted duplications resulting from spontaneous breakage events. (i) Breakage usually occurred at a variety of sites; that is, there were no hot spots for breakage. An exception was the spontaneous breakage of the X chromosome into which hDp14 was...
