Abstract excerpt
Tandem dinucleotide repeats of GT or AC [(GT)n/(AC)n] where n greater than or equal to 14 are highly polymorphic and other simple repeats such as (CT)n/(AG)n and (A)n(T)n are also polymorphic. The uniformity of these sequences precludes a mechanistic differentiation between recombination or polymerase slippage. Since (GT)n/(AC)n or (CT)n/(AG)n segments of desired size were not available in our gene of interest,...
