Protein innovation through template switching in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae lineage
Abstract DNA polymerase template switching between short, non-identical inverted repeats (IRs) is a genetic mechanism that leads to the homogenization of IR arms and to IR spacer inversion, which cause multinucleotide mutations (MNMs). It is unknown if and how template switching affects gene evoluti...
