Abstract excerpt
Mouse expanded simple tandem repeats (ESTRs) provide highly informative loci for analyzing spontaneous and induced germline mutation. We have conducted an extensive sequence database search and identified 17 new members of the highly unstable rodent-specific ESTR family called MMS10. This family has arisen by independent expansions of a common GGCAGA repeat unit from within a subset of both ancestral and modern...
