Abstract excerpt
The classical analysis of minisatellite variant repeat (MVR) variation using modular structures is limited by the lack of knowledge of the mutational process involved in the evolution of most of the minisatellites. In this study a new method to measure MVR variation and to calculate genetic distances using MVR codes is proposed. The method is based on the statistical similarity of MVR patterns and considers the...
