This paper uses data from the Human Gene Mutation Database to contrast two hypotheses
for the origin of short DNA repeats: substitutions and insertions that duplicate adjacent …

Microsatellites (simple sequence repeats) are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes, and they
are highly polymorphic. They are currently the primary tools for most genetic mapping and …

We studied by multiplex amplification and single‐run electrophoretic analysis 10
microsatellite loci, composed of nine tetranucleotide‐repeats (D1S1612, D3S2387 …

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 …

Pick a eukaryotic genome and initiate shot-gun sequencing–you will not have to sequence
too many clones until you start seeing simple tandem repeat sequences, such as …

Several efforts have been made to study the distributions and frequencies of microsatellites
in the genomes of various organisms by searching the existing GenBank sequences (Weber …

抄録< jats: title> Abstract</jats: title>< jats: p>'Microsatellite'is now the commonest term used
to describe tandem repeats of short sequence motifs (no more than six bases long) …

Microsatellites are stretches of repetitive DNA, where individual repeat units comprise one to
six bases. These sequences are often highly polymorphic with respect to repeat number and …

It is common knowledge that mutation rates of DNA (minisatellite and microsatellite) loci can
differ by orders of magnitude. Obviously, the mutation rate is closely related to the degree of …

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