Abstract excerpt
Mini/microsatellite (MNS/MCS) loci are efficient tools in solving basic and applied problems in different spheres of biology and medicine due to their unique characteristics - a high frequency of tandem repeats in combination with their wide variability. Specifically, they have been found use as potential markers of genetic effects of ionizing radiation on animals and on human. However there is no general...
