 repair is not always faithful, though, sometimes leading to the formation of
 \acp{sv}. A major mechanism of \sv formation employs the homologous
 recombination machinery, which uses homologous sequence (from the sister
-chromatid) as a template to repair a break. However, given the repetitive

 respective locus but also in other, non-allelic loci. This \emph{\acf{nahr}}
 can create various types of \acp{sv}, including deletions, duplications,
 inversions and even translocation, depending on position and orientation of the
