2 the practice of making an exact copy of something, especially when this is illegal:
The defendants never denied the illegal duplication, but claimed they had tried to obtain copyrights.
Nearly all insertions are actually duplications.
Branched chromosomes as symmetrical duplications.
Segmental duplications and the evolution of the primate genome.
Insertions are rarer, but over 70 % of the 2-4 base insertion mutations are duplications of adjacent sequences, and over half of these generate new repeat regions.
The phenotypic manifestations of interstitial duplications of proximal 15q with special reference to the autistic spectrum disorders.
The duplications may involve entire genomes, entire chromosomes, or portions of chromosomes.
All that is needed is a memo function building the corresponding map without duplications.
In meiosis, duplications were always accompanied by an additional mutation event which was either an insertion of repeats from the other allele or a deletion.
