| Comments |
"Large-scale rearrangements occur spontaneously at measurable frequencies, although the rates at which they occur are uncertain. In an older study, duplications were reported to arise at frequencies of between 10^-2 and 10^-5 per cell division, depending on their chromosomal location (primary source)." |
