Algebraic distribution of segmental duplication lengths in whole-genome sequence self-alignments.

Distributions of duplicated sequences from genome self-alignment are characterized, including forward and backward alignments in bacteria and eukaryotes. A Markovian process without auto-correlation should generate an exponential distribution expected from local effects of point mutation and selecti...
