Stalling of replication forks in sequences that have non-allelic repeats can lead to genomic rearrangements; here two pathways consistent with homologous recombination and error-free post-replication repair fuse identical and mismatched repeats, respectively, thus inducing chromosomal rearrangements in mouse embryonic stem cells.
