Minisatellite-like repeat sequences in the genome of rodent malaria parasites.

Acta Leidensia, 1992
Using minisatellite DNA probes and various Southern blots containing DNA samples from rodent malaria parasites it was shown that minisatellite-like sequences occur in the genome of these Plasmodium species. In contrast to the high copy number as observed in higher eukaryotes, the use of fingerprinting techniques on DNA from these parasites reveals that

Digital DNA typing at a second hypervariable locus by minisatellite variant repeat mapping

Human Molecular Genetics, 1993
Minisatellite variant repeat unit mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) assays the interspersion pattern of variant repeat units along minisatellite alleles. Mapping such internal variation in the highly polymorphic minisatellite MS31A (locus D7S21), reveals extreme levels of allelic variability, far in excess of that detectable by allele length analysis.

Minisatellite variant repeat mapping: Application to DNA typing and mutation analysis

1993
Most DNA typing systems assay allele length variation at tandemly repeated loci such as minisatellites and microsatellites. Allele length measurements are approximate, which impedes the use of such loci in forensic analysis and in studies of allelic variability at hypervariable loci.

Nonradioactive Approach to Type DNA by Minisatellite Variant Repeats

1994
A nonradioactive approach was established to type DNA by minisatellite variant repeats (MVR). Sequence variation in the repeat units of rninisatellites were described by Jeffreys et al. 1990. The human minisatellite clone MS32 detects the hypervariable locus D1S8. The core sequence of this minisatellite is a 29 bp repeat unit. Approximately half of the

Characterization of a minisatellite repeat locus in the chloroplast genome of Orchis palustris (Orchidaceae)

Current Genetics, 2001
We describe the occurrence of a tandem repeat in the chloroplast genome of the marsh orchid, Orchis palustris. The repeat unit is an AT-rich, 16-bp sequence located in the chloroplast tRNALEU intron. Southern blot analysis confirmed that the O. palustris tRNALEU intron including the minisatellite locus has not been transferred to the nucleus, but is ...

GATA tandem repeats detect minisatellite regions in blowfly DNA (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Chromosoma, 1988
A DNA probe containing GATA tandem repeats detected numerous dispersed minisatellite regions in the genomes of the blowflies Chrysomya rufifacies and Calliphora erythrocephala. These regions seemed to be actively transcribed into poly(A)+ RNA in a tissue-specific manner.

Characterization of Novel Minisatellite Repeat Loci in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and Their Phylogenetic Distribution

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1998
We present here the sequence and characterization of various minisatellite-like tandem repeat loci isolated from the genome of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Their diversity of sequence and lack of core motifs common to minisatellites of other species suggest the presence of numerous and previously unidentified simple sequence repeat families in this ...

Evidence for Multiple Origins of Human Infectivity in Trypanosoma brucei Revealed by Minisatellite Variant Repeat Mapping

Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2001
In recent years a wide variety of biochemical and molecular typing systems has been employed in the study of parasite diversity aimed at investigating the level of genetic diversity and delineating the relationship between different species and subspecies.

Repeat sequences from complex ds DNA viruses can be used as minisatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting

Animal Genetics, 1991
Summary. In a search for new fingerprinting probes for use with sheep, repeat sequences derived from five poxviruses, an iridovirus and a baculovirus were screened against DNA from sheep pedigrees. Probes constructed from portions of the parapox viruses, orf virus and papular stomatitis virus and the baculovirus from the alfalfa looper, Autographa ...

Sequencing and four-state minisatellite variant repeat mapping of the D1S7 locus (MS1) by fluorescence detection

Electrophoresis, 2000
Minisatellite variant repeat mapping by polymerase chain reaction (MVR-PCR) reveals an enormous degree of variation in the human minisatellite regions. The original approach involved the use of 32P-labelled probes to detect the MVR-PCR products generated. To date, the loci mapped include D1S8, D7S21 and D16S309.
