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 ...

Human Chromosomal Fragile Site FRA16B Is an Amplified AT-Rich Minisatellite Repeat [PDF]
Cell, 1997 Fragile sites are nonstaining gaps in chromosomes induced by specific tissue culture conditions. They vary both in population frequency and in the culture conditions required for induction. Folate-sensitive fragile sites are due to expansion of p(CCG)n trinucleotide repeats; however, the relationship between sequence composition and the chemistry of ...

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 ...

DNA secondary structure forming at minisatellite repeat unit sequences [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Symposium Series, 2006 The lengths of simple repeat sequences are generally unstable or polymorphic; that is, they are highly variable with respect to the numbers of tandem repeats. To determine the structural features that cause such variability, we examined a minisatellite DNA isolated from the yellow fin sea bream Acanthopagrus latus.

DNA Fingerprints in Plants Using Simple-sequence Repeat and Minisatellite Probes [PDF]
HortScience, 1995 Plant genomes contain polymorphic repetitive sequences that can be used as DNA markers. Minisatellites (16 to 64 bp per repeat) and simple-sequence repeats (2 to 6 bp per repeat) are the most polymorphic markers found in plant and animal genomes. In this study, the hybridizations between genomic DNA and variable number of tandem repeat probes were ...

New method to measure minisatellite variant repeat variation in population genetic studies [PDF]
American Journal of Human Biology, 2002 AbstractThe classical analysis of minisatellite variant repeat (MVR) variation using modular structures is limited by the lack of knowledge of the mutational process involved in the evolution of most of the minisatellites. In this study a new method to measure MVR variation and to calculate genetic distances using MVR codes is proposed.

MNS16A tandem repeat minisatellite of human telomerase gene and prostate cancer susceptibility [PDF]
Mutagenesis, 2013 Telomere dysfunction is an early event in the development of prostate cancer and telomerase (TERT) activity is detectable in the majority of prostate cancers. Genetic variation in TERT and its regulatory elements may influence prostate carcinogenesis.

Repeat instability at human minisatellites arising from meiotic recombination [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1998 Little is known about the role of meiotic recombination processes such as unequal crossover in driving instability at tandem repeat DNA. Methods have therefore been developed to detect meiotic crossovers within two different GC-rich minisatellite repeat arrays in humans, both in families and in sperm DNA.
