| 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 (BNID 111496). A more recent whole-genome sequencing study (primary source) of a population of S. enterica var. Typhimurium that was propagated in a chemostat found duplications, inversions, and small deletions in =20% of the cells after only 50 generations." |
