Slipped-strand mispairing at noncontiguous repeats in Poecilia reticulata: a model for minisatellite birth.

Genetics - 1 Jul 2000

Taylor J S, Breden F

Abstract excerpt

The standard slipped-strand mispairing (SSM) model for the formation of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) proposes that a few tandem repeats, produced by chance mutations, provide the "raw material" for VNTR expansion. However, this model is unlikely to explain the formation of VNTRs with lo...
