Palindromic DNA sequences in the genome can cause gross chromosomal rearrangements. Inagaki et al.demonstrate how the pathways of Holliday-junction resolution and antigen-receptor gene rearrangement interact to process cruciform conformation of palindrome DNA into chromosomal translocations in human embryonic kidney cells.
