Abstract
A novel DNA rearrangement has been characteriszed that is both a direc t and inverted repeat. This rearrangement involves the 2-fold duplicat ion of a plasmid sequence adjacent to the site of insertion of a long palindrome. The sequence of this rearrangement suggests that it has ar isen by strand slippage from the leading to the lagging strand of the replication fork as a consequence of the presence of the long palindro me.
