Pause-melting misalignment: a novel model for the birth and motif indel of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial genome

BACKGROUND: Tandem repeats (TRs) in the mitochondrial (mt) genome control region have been documented in a wide variety of vertebrate species. The mechanism by which repeated tracts originate and undergo duplication and deletion, however, remains unclear. RESULTS: We analyzed DNA sequences of mt gen...
