In the human genome, short tandem repetitive (STR) DNA sequences often show restriction
fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) due to variation in the number of copies of the …

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of genomic DNA are generally
attributable to base changes that create or abolish restriction endonuclease sites or to …

Classical approaches to Size determination compare unknown DNA fragments to DNA
fragments of completely different Sequences but of known molecular weight. Size Standards …

Synthetic tandem repeats (STRs) of oligonucleotides have previously been shown to detect
polymorphic loci in the human genome. Here, we report results from the use of three such …

Length variations in simple sequence tandem repeats (microsatellite DNA polymorphisms)
are finding increasing usage in mammalian genetics. Although every variety of short tandem …

Polymers of random 14 mer oligonucleotides are shown to detect discrete loci in the human
genome. Eighteen different synthetic tandem repeats of random 14 base-pair units (STRs) …

Minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) is a new approach to studying
variation in human DNA which analyses interspersion patterns of variant repeats within …

VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat) markers, also called single-copy minisatellites,
were originally isolated from human DNA as highly informative restriction fragment length …

Mammalian DNA contains two major classes of dispersed repetitive elements based on their
size--the short interspersed elements (SINEs) and long interspersed elements (LINEs). In …

Introduction: Some segments of the human genome exhibit polymorphism due to a variable
number of tandem repeats (VNTR). The enzymatic amplification of VNTR loci can allow for …
