Abstract excerpt
The effect of an unbalanced nucleotide pool on the stability of dinucleotide (CA)n microsatellite sequences was investigated in the mutator phenotype CSA7 clone isolated from Chinese hamster CHEF18 cell line. A series of clones isolated from CHEF18 and CSA7 cells and resistant to 6-thioguanine (TG) were shown to be stable at the three examined microsatellite loci. Furthermore, the clones isolated from CHEF18...
