Abstract: Alu elements are the most abundant source of nonallelic homology that influences genetic instability in the human genome. When there is a DNA double‐stranded break, the Alu element's high copy number, moderate length and distance… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msy176
Abstract: For 30 years, it has been clear that angiosperm mitochondrial genomes evolve rapidly in sequence arrangement (i.e., synteny), yet absolute rates of rearrangement have not been measured in any plant group, nor is it known how… read more here.

Highly active repeat-mediated recombination in the mitogenome of the holoparasitic plant Aeginetia indica

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.988368
Abstract: Mitogenomes of most flowering plants evolve slowly in sequence, but rapidly in structure. The rearrangements in structure are mainly caused by repeat-mediated recombination. However, patterns of repeat-mediated recombination vary substantially among plants, and to provide… read more here.
