Abstract excerpt
Human colorectal, endometrial, and gastric cancers with defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR) have microsatellite instability, a unique molecular alteration characterized by widespread frameshift mutations of repetitive DNA sequences. We developed "Kangaroo," a bioinformatics program for searches in nucleotide and protein sequence databases, and performed an in silico genome scan for DNA coding microsatellites that...
