Abstract excerpt
The most variable human minisatellites show extreme germline instability dominated by complex intra-allelic rearrangements plus a lower frequency of inter-allelic transfers of repeat units. In contrast, little is known about somatic instability at such loci. We have therefore used single-molecule PCR to analyze mutation at minisatellite CEB1 (D2S90) in human blood DNA. Somatic mutants were rare and involved only...
