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 ...

Attempts to detect retrotransposition and de novo deletion of Alus and other dispersed repeats at specific loci in the human genome [PDF]

, 2001
Dispersed repeat elements contribute to genome instability by de novo insertion and unequal recombination between repeats. To study the dynamics of these processes, we have developed single DNA molecule approaches to detect de novo insertions at a single

An insight of genetic polymorphism and the commonly studied polymorphisms associated with oral cancer

SRM Journal of Research in Dental Sciences, 2014
Oral and pharyngeal cancers are some of the most common cancers worldwide. The risk of developing oral cancer is modified by environment, lifestyle, genetics, and a combination of these factors.

A MLVA genotyping scheme for global surveillance of the citrus pathogen Xanthomonas citri pv. citri suggests a worldwide geographical expansion of a single genetic lineage. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
MultiLocus Variable number of tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) has been extensively used to examine epidemiological and evolutionary issues on monomorphic human pathogenic bacteria, but not on bacterial plant pathogens of agricultural importance albeit such

Comparative Sequence Analysis of Human Minisatellites Showing Meiotic Repeat Instability [PDF]

Genome Research, 1999
The highly variable human minisatellites MS32 (D1S8), MS31A (D7S21), and CEB1 (D2S90) all show recombination-based repeat instability restricted to the germline. Mutation usually results in polar interallelic conversion or occasionally in crossovers, which, at MS32 at least, extend into DNA flanking the repeat array, defining a localized recombination ...

Allelic segregation and independent assortment in T. brucei crosses: proof that the genetic system is Mendelian and involves meiosis [PDF]

, 2005
The genetic system on Trypanosoma brucei has been analysed by generating large numbers of independent progeny clones from two crosses, one between two cloned isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and one between cloned isolates of T. b.

Estimation of genetic diversity and population genetic structure in Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R. Br. ex Schult. populations using DAMD and ISSR markers

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R. Br. ex Schult. is a well-known medicinal plant against diabetes in India. There is as such no organized cultivation in India, and the plant is still being collected from the wild for their therapeutic uses.

Genetic association study of selected candidate genes (ApoB, LPL, Leptin) and telomere length in obese and hypertensive individuals

BMC Medical Genetics, 2009
Background A genetic study was carried out among obese and hypertensive individuals from India to assess allelic association, if any, at three candidate loci: Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) minisatellite and two tetranucleotide repeat loci; LPL (Lipoprotein ...
