MNS16A tandem repeats minisatellite of human telomerase gene and cancer risk: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Researchers have provided evidence that telomere dysfunction play an important role in cancer development. MNS16A is a polymorphic tandem repeats minisatellite of human telomerase (hTERT) gene that influences promoter activity of hTERT and ...

Efficient isothermal expansion of human telomeric and minisatellite repeats by Thermococcus litoralis DNA polymerase. [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Res, 2005 Repeating DNA sequences, such as telomeres, centromeres, and micro- and mini-satellites, comprise 50% of the genome and play important roles in regulatory and pathogenic mechanisms. In order to study structures and functions of such repeating sequences, it is important to have simple and efficient methods for making them in vitro. Here, we describe the

Pytrf: a python package for finding tandem repeats from genomic sequences [PDF]
BMC BioinformaticsBackground Tandem repeats (TRs) are major sources of genetic variation and important genetic markers. Their expansions are not only involved in gene expression regulation but also associated with many nervous system diseases and cancers.

Exploring the Genetic Variability of Gmelina arborea Roxb. in Mexico with Molecular Markers to Establish an Efficient Improvement Program [PDF]
PlantsMelina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) is a tree native to Asia, whose timber is not utilized in that region for a variety of reasons. However, the tree’s fast growth and extensive range of applications have increased its acceptance in other world’regions.

IGS Minisatellites Useful for Race Differentiation in Colletotrichum lentis and a Likely Site of Small RNA Synthesis Affecting Pathogenicity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Colletotrichum lentis is a fungal pathogen of lentil in Canada but rarely reported elsewhere. Two races, Ct0 and Ct1, have been identified using differential lines. Our objective was to develop a PCR-probe differentiating these races.

Variation of serine-aspartate repeats in membrane proteins possibly contributes to staphylococcal microevolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Tandem repeats (either as microsatellites or minisatellites) in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms are mutation-prone DNA. While minisatellites in prokaryotic genomes are underrepresented, the cell surface adhesins of bacteria often contain the ...

The yeast Pif1 helicase prevents genomic instability caused by G-quadruplex-forming CEB1 sequences in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2009 In budding yeast, the Pif1 DNA helicase is involved in the maintenance of both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, but its role in these processes is still poorly understood.

Molecular mining of alleles in water buffalo Bubalus bubalis and characterization of the TSPY1 and COL6A1 genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Minisatellites are an integral part of eukaryotic genomes and show variation in the complexity of their organization. Besides their presence in non-coding regions, a small fraction of them are part of the transcriptome, possibly participating
