In the following diagram about chromosome inversion, I don't understand:
- Why do we need to take the reverse complement from step 1 to 2? Isn't inversion just reversing the bases in the region?
- How is the bottom diagram derived? For example, where does the
ACCCCACTC
come from? I thought it should be:GACTGCCGT
for 5'→3' andCTGACGGCA
for 3'→5' (inversion of the sequences in the second step).
