Abstract excerpt
We have examined mutational events at TC/AG microsatellites, the second most abundant dinucleotide repetitive motif in the human genome. Mutational targets were constructed containing TC/AG alleles up to 20 units in-frame within the coding region of the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene. These targets were incorporated into oriP shuttle vectors, which replicate episomally in human lymphoblastoid...
