Patterned sequence in the transcriptome of vascular plants [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background Microsatellites (repeated subsequences based on motifs of one to six nucleotides) are widely used as codominant genetic markers because of their frequent polymorphism and relative selective neutrality.

DNA fingerprinting and cloning of hypervariable minisatellite repeats in salmonids [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1994 We used heterologous jeffreys' 33.6 core sequence and microsatellites (CAC)(5) and (CA)(12) as probes and compared them with probes based on the minisatellite sequences from tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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

Minisatellite variant repeat (MVR) mapping: analysis of ‘null’ repeat units at D1S8 [PDF]
Human Molecular Genetics, 1992 Minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) is a new approach to studying variation in human DNA which analyses interspersion patterns of variant repeats within minisatellite arrays. MVR-PCR has been applied to the hypervariable human minisatellite D1S8 which contains two major classes of variant 29bp repeat units designated a-type and t-type.

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 ...
