title: [The properties of sequences involved in insertion and deletion mutagenesis in rodents].
abstract: We analyzed nucleotide sequences that were inserted to or deleted from genomic DNA during the divergence from common ancestor. The median length of these sequences is 3 nucleotides; they are enriched with palindromes and often repeat in adjacent DNA.
