Deletion refers to the process of seamlessly transforming information into a form where it is no longer accessible by agents that would normally use it and furthermore makes it seem like the information never existed.

The mechanisms of U insertion/deletion is currently controversial. Among the proposed models are: the cascade model, Seiwert model, and 3' end U transfer model.
Other kinds of editing of RNA also occur.

Deletions are fragments of chromosomes that are missing. They are usually lethal when homozygous and cause abnormalities when heterozygous.
Radiation, viruses, chemicals, and unequal crossing-over may cause them.

Deletion Mapping
Deletions can be mapped by the same procedure used for point mutations. Simply cross pairs of deletion mutants and see if they produce progeny that can grow on E. coli strain K.

Additions and deletions
During copying a segment of DNA may be deleted or a new segment may be inserted. Typically this happens as a result of chromosome breakage or realignment.
