A GGCAGG motif in minisatellites affecting their germline instability.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 5 Sept 1990

Mitani K, Takahashi Y, Kominami R

Abstract excerpt

Mouse and human genomes contain hypervariable DNA regions consisting of tandem repeats of a short sequence referred to as minisatellites. This variation is thought to arise through processes such as unequal crossover or replication slippage. A mo-1 minisatellite probe comprising a 14-base pair re...
