A mutation is a change in the sequence of an ... slippage during DNA recombination or due to the activities of transposable events. Genes and even whole chromosomes can be substituted, duplicated ...

Deletions and duplications of single-base pairs typically arise during homologous recombination and cause diseases. But what happens when a mutation occurs over multiple genes? Deletions involve ...

This resolved the long-standing question in meiotic recombination. Using a point-mutation strategy, researchers revealed that ...
