Models for the formation of DMs. For a DM of mono-locus origin, a DNA segment can be circularized from the excised fragment of the replication intermediate (top) or directly from a chromosomal locus (bottom). Multi-loci DM can arise from either the erroneous repair of fragmented chromosomes (top) or repeated template switching of a replication fork (bottom).
