Previous studies have shown that homologous recombination is a powerful mechanism for generation of massive instabilities of the myotonic dystrophy CTG.CAG sequences. However, the frequency of recombination between the CTG.CAG tracts has not been studied. Here we performed a systematic study on the frequency of recombination between these sequences using ... More
