Abstract excerpt
Genome polymorphism by the locus (CAAA)n was studied in 69 strains of Yersinia pestis isolated from natural foci of the former Soviet Union. The polymorphism was found to be represented by ten alleles in chromosomes, which could be regarded as evidence of variability of this VNTR-locus (diversity index, DI = 0.86). The value of DI was found to vary substantially: from 0.24 in a group of vole strains from seven...
