Polymerase slippage in relation to the uniformity of tetrameric repeat stretches.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that polymerase slippage correlates to the length of repeat stretches consisting of uniform repeats against the alternative hypothesis that the total number of repeats is most relevant. Two short tetrameric short tandem repeats (STRs) with different repeat structures were investigated: D3S1545 containing only homogeneous (GATA)n repeat stretches and D7S1517 with...
