Abstract

A model for the formation of DNA rearrangements in somatic cells is presented. Two double-strand breaks at the junctions between unreplicated DNA and newly replicated DNA generate four double-stranded DNA molecules that can recombine to form tandem duplications, inversions, deletions and extrachromosomal DNA circles.

Deletions at stalled replication forks occur by two different pathways.
