Mathematical modelling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis VNTR loci estimates a very slow mutation rate for the repeats.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 2008

Grant Andrew, Arnold Catherine, Thorne Nicola, Gharbia Saheer, Underwood Anthony

Abstract excerpt

Minisatellites are highly variable tandem repeats used for over 20 years in humans for DNA fingerprinting. In prokaryotes fingerprinting techniques exploiting VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) polymorphisms have become widely used recently in bacterial typing. However although many investigations into the mechanisms underlying minisatellite variation in humans have been performed, relatively little is...
