## Abstract The antigen receptor loci are the only loci in humans to undergo programmed somatic gene modification. Although aberrant V(D)J integration and class switch recombination can both give rise to chromosomal translocations, a role for somatic hypermutation in such genomic rearrangements has
## Abstract Somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes plays a critical role in the maturation of the human antibody response. The molecular basis of this important process is, however, unknown. To identify __cis__‐acting sequences that initiate and target hypermutation, we have made three
