Variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) markers for human gene mapping.

Science, 1987
A large collection of good genetic markers is needed to map the genes that cause human genetic diseases. Although nearly 400 polymorphic DNA markers for human chromosomes have been described, the majority have only two alleles and are thus uninformative for analysis of genetic linkage in many families.

Multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis for genotyping of Shigella sonnei strains isolated from pediatric patients

Gastroenterology and hepatology from bed to bench, 2015
Aim: The aims of this study were to characterize Iranian Shigella sonnei strains isolated from pediatric cases and evaluate the utility of multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) for genotyping of local S.

Variable Number Tandem Repeat Typing of Bacteria

2007
Analysis of bacterial genomes revealed a high percentage of DNA consisting of repeats, in which DNA motifs existed in multiple copies. Study of these DNA motifs has resulted in the development of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) or multilocus variant-repeat analysis (MLVA) assays, which have shown to be valuable bacterial typing methods, especially

Multiple Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats Analysis

2009
Genotyping of bacteria through typing of loci containing a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) might become the gold standard for many pathogens. The development of genome sequencing has shown that such sequences were present in every species analyzed, and that polymorphism exists in at least a fraction of them. The length of these repetitions can

Multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis for Salmonella enterica subspecies

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2010
Genomic analysis of Salmonella enterica revealed the existence of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) at multiple loci. Some S. enterica strains are considered as references (Typhi Ty2, Typhi CT18, Typhimurium LT2, Enteritidis LK5, PT4, and Enteritidis 07-2642, and Newport).

Typing Mycobacterium tuberculosis Using Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis

2009
DNA-based typing has contributed to the understanding of M. tuberculosis epidemiology and evolution. IS6110 RFLP was the first method described and has been used in many epidemiologic investigations. Technological difficulties have hampered the widespread establishment of this method, and it has been found to be of little use in evolutionary studies ...

Variable Number of Tandem Repeats in Zygosity Diagnosis in Twins

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae: twin research, 1990
AbstractThe use of DNA restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) to analyze variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) sequences dispersed in the human genome, has become a powerful tool for the study of population genetics due to the very substantial polymorphism involved.

Multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of Streptococcus pyogenes

Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2011
We tested 21 polymorphic loci encoded by the genome of Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus, GAS). Seven of them were chosen for the MLVA scheme. The primer pairs, designed for selected loci, detect from few to several alleles, and the method has a Simpson's Index of diversity of 0.957.

INVERTER: INtegrated Variable numbER Tandem rEpeat findeR

2010
A tandem repeat in DNA is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem repeats occur in the genomes of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. They are important in numerous fields including disease diagnosis, mapping studies, human identity testing (DNA fingerprinting), sequence homology and ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis Diversity by Exact Tandem Repeats-Variable Number Tandem Repeat Method in Azerbaijan, Iran

Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2018
Background Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of adult deaths among infectious agents. One of the genetic fingerprinting techniques to study the epidemiology of TB is variable number tandem repeat (VNTR). The purpose of this study was to determine the diversity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from patients in ...
