Fusion of Inverted Repeats Leads to Formation of Dicentric Chromosomes that Cause Genome Instability in Budding Yeast

Large-scale changes are common in genomes, and are often associated with pathological disorders. In the work presented in this dissertation, I provide insights into how inverted repeat sequences in budding yeast fuse during replication. Fusion leads to the formation of dicentric chromosomes, a trans...
