Size distribution of 100 duplicated fragments, originating from recent duplications. The fragments captured by transposable elements and moved across the genome are mostly <1 kb in size and none contained an entire gene. Fragments that were presumably duplicated during DSB repair are usually several kilobases in size. Those duplication events for which no specific signatures could be identified show a similar size distribution as the ones triggered by DSB repair.
