Abstract excerpt
Minisatellites provide very informative systems for analyzing processes of tandem repeat DNA turnover in humans. The mouse genome also contains authentic minisatellites, but none has yet been found to show high levels of instability. Indirect evidence using minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR in Mus musculus subspecies suggested that mouse minisatellites mutate at a rate below 10(-3) per gamete and mainly...
