Key words: indel mutagenesis, intron.Analysis was performed on nucleotide sequences that were inserted into or deleted from genomic DNA during divergence of mice and rats from a common ancestor. The median length of such sequences is 3 nt, they are enriched in palindromes and often repeated in adjacent DNA. References - A. S. Kondrashov, Human Mutation 21 (1), 12 (2003).
