Fragile sites, chromosomal lesions, tandem repeats, and disease
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Expanded tandem repeat DNAs are associated with various unusual chromosomal lesions, despiralizations, multi-branched inter-chromosomal associations, and fragile sites.

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.

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

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.

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 ...

Biologia 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.

Patterned sequence in the transcriptome of vascular plants
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.

Development and validation of minisatellite markers for Carica papaya
Biologia Plantarum, 2015 Whereas microsatellite markers are well described, there are few studies investigating minisatellites. Therefore, this study aimed to identify, characterize, and validate minisatellite loci for papaya (Carica papaya L.).

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