The Adaptive Response and Protection against Heritable Mutations and Fetal Malformation

open access: yesDose-Response, 2006
There are a number of studies that show radiation can cause heritable mutations in the offspring of irradiated organisms. These “germ-line mutations” have been shown to occur in unique sequences of DNA called “minisatellite loci”. The high frequencies of

The mitochondrial DNA markers for distinguishing Phalaenopsis species and revealing maternal phylogeny

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2016
Moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) are among the top-traded blooming potted plants in the world. To explore mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers for species identification, we located simple sequence repeats in the mtDNA of Phalaenopsis aphrodite subsp.

Rare exonic minisatellite alleles in MUC2 influence susceptibility to gastric carcinoma. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2007
BACKGROUND: Mucins are the major components of mucus and their genes share a common, centrally-located region of sequence that encodes tandem repeats. Mucins are well known genes with respect to their specific expression levels; however, their genomic ...

Polygenic inheritance and micro/minisatellites [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 1998
While it has often been stated that the identification of the genes involved in complex polygenic traits may be extremely difficult, the principles learned in the past century about single gene-single disease inheritance may not be relevant to polygenic inheritance. A new paradigm specific to complex disorders may be needed.

Clinically Irrelevant Terminal 16q21 Deletion Detected by NIPT Is Attributable to Inherited Fragility at FRA16B

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 2, Page 348-352, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Genome‐wide non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a powerful tool for prenatal detection of the common aneuploidies causing Down‐, Edwards‐, and Patau syndrome. Its genome‐wide reach also enables the detection of unbalanced structural chromosomal abnormalities.

Minisatellite mutation rates increase with extra-pair paternity among birds

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009
Background Amos 1 suggested recently that a previously reported positive relationship between minisatellite mutation rates and extra-pair paternity among species of birds 2 was confounded by transcription errors and selective inclusion of studies.

Assessment of the Generation of Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances by Solar Terminators

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The generation of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) near solar terminators has been predicted, and several studies have reported the detection of TIDs associated with sunrise. However, there are also observations that do not show TID signatures at sunrise.

Genetic variation within and among small isolated populations of Santalum album

open access: yesBiologia Plantarum, 2011
A combination of directed amplification of minisatellite DNA (DAMD) and random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primes were used to assess the genetic variation within and between three isolated populations of Indian sandalwood (Santalum album ...

Predicting Dual‐Satellite Ionospheric Radial Currents From Single‐Satellite Observations With a BiLSTM Model

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Ionospheric radial currents (IRC) can be derived using two methodologies: (a) the single‐satellite approach: Single‐IRC is deduced from magnetic field data of a single satellite (Swarm‐A); (b) the dual‐satellite approach: Dual‐IRC is calculated by coordinated magnetic field measurements of a pair of satellites (Swarm‐A and ‐C).

Genetic association study of selected candidate genes (ApoB, LPL, Leptin) and telomere length in obese and hypertensive individuals

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2009
Background A genetic study was carried out among obese and hypertensive individuals from India to assess allelic association, if any, at three candidate loci: Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) minisatellite and two tetranucleotide repeat loci; LPL (Lipoprotein ...
