P-nucleotides are short palindromic sequences formed at the junctions of rearranged V-region gene segments during RAG-mediated rearrangement due to the asymmetric opening of hairpin intermediates.
Short palindromic nucleotide sequences formed between gene segments of the rearranged V-region gene generated by the asymmetric opening of the hairpin intermediate during RAG-mediated rearrangement
