Functional and immunological relevance of Anaplasma marginale major surface protein 1a sequence and structural analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Bovine anaplasmosis is caused by cattle infection with the tick-borne bacterium, Anaplasma marginale. The major surface protein 1a (MSP1a) has been used as a genetic marker for identifying A.

Genome-wide functional perturbation of human microsatellite repeats using engineered zinc finger transcription factors [PDF]
Cell Genomics, 2022 Summary: Repeat elements can be dysregulated at a genome-wide scale in human diseases. For example, in Ewing sarcoma, hundreds of inert GGAA repeats can be converted into active enhancers when bound by EWS-FLI1.

Simple Mathematical Model Of Pathologic Microsatellite Expansions: When Self-Reparation Does Not Work [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol., 2006, v. 242, 401--408, 2007 We propose a simple model of pathologic microsatellite expansion, and describe an inherent self-repairing mechanism working against expansion. We prove that if the probabilities of elementary expansions and contractions are equal, microsatellite expansions are always self-repairing.

Functionally relevant microsatellites in sugarcane unigenes [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2010 Background Unigene sequences constitute a rich source of functionally relevant microsatellites. The present study was undertaken to mine the microsatellites in the available unigene sequences of sugarcane for understanding their constitution in the ...

Microsatellite distribution on sex chromosomes at different stages of heteromorphism and heterochromatinization in two lizard species (Squamata: Eublepharidae:
BMC Genetics, 2011 Background The accumulation of repetitive sequences such as microsatellites during the differentiation of sex chromosomes has not been studied in most squamate reptiles (lizards, amphisbaenians and snakes), a group which has a large diversity of sex ...

Sequence determinants of human microsatellite variability [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2009 Background Microsatellite loci are frequently used in genomic studies of DNA sequence repeats and in population studies of genetic variability. To investigate the effect of sequence properties of microsatellites on their level of variability we have ...

Analyses of carnivore microsatellites and their intimate association with tRNA-derived SINEs [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2006 Background The popularity of microsatellites has greatly increased in the last decade on account of their many applications. However, little is currently understood about the factors that influence their genesis and distribution among and within species ...
