Abstract A total of 20,000 parent-offspring transfers of alleles were examined through the
genotyping within 40 CEPH reference families of 28 short tandem repeat polymorphisms …

Trimeric and tetrameric short tandem repeats (STRs) represent a rich source of highly
polymorphic markers in the human genome that may be studied with the polymerase chain …

Summary In 10,844 parent/child allelic transfers at nine short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci, 23
isolated STR mismatches were observed. The parenthood in each of these cases was highly …

The human genome contains many repeated DNA sequences that vary in complexity of
repeating unit from a single nucleotide to a whole gene. The repeat sequences can be …

Using genotypes from nearly 8,000 short tandem-repeat polymorphisms typed in eight of the
reference families from the Centre d'Étude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH), we identified …

One hundred highly informative simple sequence repeat (SSR) polymorphisms have been
isolated and mapped to specific human chromosomes by somatic cell hybrid analysis …

Tandemly reiterated sequences represent a rich source of highly polymorphic markers for
genetic linkage, mapping, and personal identification. Human trimeric and tetrameric short …

We report a high rate of new mutation at a short tandem repeat sequence polymorphism
(STR, microsatellite) at locus DXS981 on the proximal long arm of the human X …

We have isolated short tandem repeat arrays from the human genome, using a rapid method
involving filter hybridization to enrich for tri-or tetranucleotlde tandem repeats. About 30% of …

Short-tandem-repeat (microsatellite) DNA polymor-phisms are widely used for screening the
human and other genomes in initial linkage mapping. Since the average spacing between …
