Abstract excerpt
The human Y chromosome displays an unusual content of repetitive sequences. Y-chromosomal repeats are potential targets for intrachromosomal recombination, which is thought to be involved in a number of Y-associated defects, such as male infertility. Such rearrangements could potentially be investigated by the use of highly polymorphic DNA markers located within the repeat units, such as microsatellites. Here we...
