Microsatellite Instability in Yeast: Dependence on the Length of the Microsatellite [PDF]
One of the most common microsatellites in eukaryotes consists of tandem arrays [usually 15-50 base pairs (bp) in length] of the dinucleotide GT. We examined the rates of instability for poly GT tracts of 15, 33, 51, 99 and 105 bp in wild-type and mismatch repair-deficient strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rates of instability increased more than two

The death of a microsatellite: a phylogenetic perspective on microsatellite interruptions [PDF]
Microsatellite mutations can be studied by direct observation in pedigrees (Weber and Wong 1993; Crawford and Cuthbertson 1996; Primmer et al. 1996), by sequencing alleles (Blanquer-Maumont and Crouau-Roy 1995; Estoup et al. 1995; Garza and Freimer 1996; Metzgar et al. 1998; Taylor, Sanny, and Breden 1999), and by mapping allele sizes or sequences onto

A Microsatellite Map of Wheat [PDF]
Abstract Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) is one of the world's most important crop plants and displays a very low level of intraspecific polymorphism. We report the development of highly polymorphic microsatellite markers using procedures optimized for the large wheat genome.

Demystified ...: Microsatellites [PDF]
Microsatellite DNA sequences consist of relatively short repeats of one to five base pair units; together with satellites and minisatellites they comprise a larger family known as tandemly repetitive sequences. Microsatellites are found both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including humans, wherein they appear scattered almost at random throughout the ...

Microsatellite Instability in Keratoacanthoma [PDF]
Tumors from patients with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and from a subset of patients with the related Muir-Torre syndrome (MTS) exhibit a novel type of genomic instability known as microsatellite instability (MIN). In general, this form of genomic instability results from mutations that inactivate DNA mismatch repair genes.

Population structure of chum salmon and selection on the markers collected for stock identification
Genetic stock identification (GSI) is a major management tool of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus Spp.) that has provided rich genetic baseline data of allozymes, microsatellites, and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the Pacific Rim.

The genetics of non-conventional wine yeasts: current knowledge and future challenges
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is by far the most widely used yeast in oenology. However, during the last decade, several other yeasts species has been purposed for winemaking as they could positively impact wine quality. Some of these non-conventional yeasts (

Microsatellite instability in sarcomas [PDF]
Microsatellite instability (MIN) has been studied in a variety of carcinomas and gynecologic sarcomas, but never in musculoskeletal sarcomas.We evaluated 16 skeletal and soft tissue sarcomas at nine genetic loci from chromosomal regions 1q, 5q, 7q, 12p, 13q, 17p, 19q, and two at 11p--all potential regions of interest regarding musculoskeletal sarcomas ...
