Comparative genomics reveals birth and death of fragile regions in mammalian evolution Max A Alekseyev, Pavel A Pevzner Genome Biology 2010, 11:R117 (30 November 2010) A new model explains the frequencies of breakpoints at genomic rearrangement hotspots by demonstrating that fragile sites undergo birth and death.
