DIR: a novel DNA rearrangement associated with inverted repeats.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A novel DNA rearrangement has been characterised that is both a direct and inverted repeat.This rearrangement involves the 2-fold duplication of a plasmid sequence adjacent to the site of insertion of a long palindrome.The sequence of this rearrangement suggests that it has arisen by strand slippage from the leading to the lagging strand of the replication fork as a consequence of the presence of the long palindrome.
