Description

Double minutes are small fragments of circular DNA. Unlike typical chromosomes, they are composed of circular fragments of DNA, up to only a few million base pairs in size and contain no centromere or telomere. They're highly amplified and formed as a byproduct of chromothripsis , or excision and circulation of genomic segments. They are known to harbor oncogenes (genes that are overexpressed) and cause cancer onset when overexpressed. This Java program simulates the evolution of double minutes using recursion, which is the repeated application calling itself. Each double minute shows start and end coordinates and the orientation of the chromosome. Explanation of Process
