Genome - 1 Aug 1994
McKim K S, Rose A M
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...
