Abstract excerpt
In Ascobolus immersus, DNA duplications are subject to the process of methylation induced premeiotically (MIP), which methylates the cytosine residues within the repeats and results in reversible gene silencing. The triggering of MIP requires pairing of the repeats, and its detection requires maintenance of the resulting methylation. MIP of kilobase-size duplications occurs frequently and leads to the methylation...
