2 Figure 1 Stitching Together Shattered Chromosomes by Chromothripsis
Chromothripsis is proposed to involve the shattering of a single chromosome, a small group of chromosomes, or a single chromosome arm. The fragments, or a subset of the fragments, are then stitched together by nonhomologous end-joining. The mechanism by which these alterations are confined to a small segment of the genome is not defined. Cell  , 9-10DOI: ( /j.cell ) Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
