Abstract excerpt
Minisatellite variant repeat mapping by PCR (MVR-PCR) is a new approach to studying variation in human DNA which analyses interspersion patterns of variant repeats within minisatellite arrays. MVR-PCR has been applied to the hypervariable human minisatellite D1S8 which contains two major classes of variant 29bp repeat units designated a-type and t-type. The MVR-PCR assay uses a- or t-type specific primers,...
