Abstract excerpt
Minisatellites are tandemly repeated DNA sequences of 10-100-bp units. Some minisatellite loci are highly unstable in the human germ line, and structural analysis of mutant alleles has suggested that repeat instability results from a recombination-based process. To provide insights into the molecular mechanism of human minisatellite instability, we developed Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains carrying alleles of...
