Mitotic microhomology-mediated break-induced replication promotes chromoanasynthesis

Mitotic microhomology-mediated break-induced replication promotes chromoanasynthesis

Chromoanasynthesis is an elusive form of complex chromosomal rearrangement commonly detected in cancer and congenital disorder. Here, the authors develop a long-read DNA sequencing approach and show that chromoanasynthesis is generated by microhomology-mediat…
