Chromosomal Inversion Process
Any type of genetic recombination involving rearrangement of segments of DNA within a single chromosome, such that a segment of the chromosome is reversed from the original orientation. Chromosomal inversion often occurs as the result of non-homologous end-joining of broken DNA strands, and is involved in maintaining cell viability at the expense of long term genomic stability. This process may be involved in infertility. (NCI Thesaurus)
