  1. ...crossover could contribute to centromere evolution (Smith 1976). In this influential model, meiotic DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are repaired using a nonallelic location on a homolog, with the potential to cause gain and loss of intervening tandem repeats (Smith 1976). However, it is widely documented...

  2. .... ( 2003 ) Enrichment of segmental duplications in regions of breaks of synteny between the human and mouse s suggest their involvement in evolutionary rearrangements. Hum. Mol. Genet. 12 : 2201 – 2208 . ↵ Bailey J.A. , Yavor A.M. , Massa H.F. , Trask B.J. , Eichler E.E. ( 2001 ) Segmental duplications...
  3. ...of segmental duplications in regions of breaks of synteny, suggesting their involvement in evolutionary rearrangements ( Probst et al. 1999 ; Bi et al. 2002 ; Armengol et al. 2003 ; Kent et al. 2003 ; Pennacchio 2003 ; Pevzner and Tesler 2003 ). Recently, however, Bailey et al. ( 2004 ) proposed...
  4. ...the double-strand-break repair pathway ( Szostak et al. 1983 ; for review on recombination, see Bollag et al. 1989 ) in human cells if divergence exceeds a few percent ( Taghian and Nickoloff 1997 ; Elliott et al. 1998 ; Johnson and Jasin 2000 ). To exclude patches of abnormal homology within PAC A7, we...
  5. ...in inversions during primate evolution; 10 were reused by breaks during mammalian evolution; 14 showed copy number polymorphism in man. TBSD sites showed an increase in satellite repeats, retrotransposed sequences, and other segmental duplications. We propose that the instability of these sites stems from...
  6. .... 2006 ). Since these proteins are key components of the cellular response to stalled replication forks, it supports the idea that fragile sites block or retard the progress of the DNA replication machinery. Common fragile sites may represent double-strand breaks formed because of stalled replication...
  7. ...beneficial function. Moreover, there is evidence that 7E SDs can be disadvantageous, as they can mediate harmful genomic rearrangements ( Giglio et al. 2001 , 2002 ). So far, 7E SDs have been found at the break-points of multiple large intrachromosomal rearrangements of 8p causing mental handicap...
  8. ...and cosegregation of the duplicated regions favors retention of the ancestral sequence and thus reduces the evolution rate. One in 30,000 males is born with an inversion breaking the factor VIII gene ( F8 ) and causing severe hemophilia A. In 90% of these patients the break is in intron 22 of F8 and affects a 9...
  9. ....e., 2qFus-Dist and 2qFus-Prox are the regions forming the distal and proximal sides of the 2q fusion site, respectively; both were at chromosome tips when the duplicative transfers occurred). Ancestral and derived states, when indicated, are inferred from breaks that disrupt genes, specific repetitive...
  10. ...of the duplication block and the midpoint of the closest inversion breakpoint. As expected, the observed association between IAR duplication blocks and inversion breakpoints is significant (P = 1 × 10−6). Since SDs have previously been shown to be associated with evolutionary rearrangements (91% of inversion breaks...
