Sequence-based estimation of minisatellite and microsatellite repeat variability [PDF]
Genome Research, 2007 Variable tandem repeats are frequently used for genetic mapping, genotyping, and forensics studies. Moreover, variation in some repeats underlies rapidly evolving traits or certain diseases. However, mutation rates vary greatly from repeat to repeat, and as a consequence, not all tandem repeats are suitable genetic markers or interesting unstable ...

ICEYE microsatellite SAR constellation status update: Evaluation of first commercial imaging modes [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The ICEYE constellation features the first operational microsatellite based X-band SAR sensors suitable for all weather day-and-night Earth Observation. In this paper, we report on the status of the ICEYE Constellation and describe the characteristics of the first operational imaging modes.

Natural recovery of genetic diversity by gene flow in reforested areas of the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management 244, 1-3 (2007) 122-128, 2008 The endemic pine, Pinus canariensis, forms one of the main forest ecosystems in the Canary Islands. In this archipelago, pine forest is a mosaic of natural stands (remnants of past forest overexploitation) and artificial stands planted from the 1940's. The genetic makeup of the artificially regenerated forest is of some concern. The use of reproductive

Genetic diversity of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and its wild relatives based on the analysis of hypervariable regions of the genome [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: The genus Arachis is native to a region that includes Central Brazil and neighboring countries. Little is known about the genetic variability of the Brazilian cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea, genome AABB) germplasm collection at the DNA ...

Microsatellite instability at tetranucleotide repeats in skin and bladder cancer [PDF]
Oncogene, 2002 Recently, a novel form of MSI has been described that occurs only at tetranucleotide repeat markers. This has been termed elevated microsatellite instability at selected tetranucleotide repeats (EMAST). EMAST has been related to alterations of the p53 gene, and to the nature of the repeat sequence.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 We describe the genetic characteristics and dynamics, and the recent evolutionary history of the Canarian houbara bustard, an endemic to the Canary Islands. We identified high gene flow and two genetic units, with genetic bottlenecks and subsequent inbreeding in both of them, and propose potential management actions to avoid its extinction. Abstract An

Repeat expansions confer WRN dependence in microsatellite-unstable cancers [PDF]
Nature, 2020 The RecQ DNA helicase WRN is a synthetic lethal target for cancer cells with microsatellite instability (MSI), a form of genetic hypermutability that arises from impaired mismatch repair1-4. Depletion of WRN induces widespread DNA double-strand breaks in MSI cells, leading to cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis.
