Hypervariable 'minisatellite' regions in human DNA.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Jeffreys A J, Wilson V, Thein S L

Abstract excerpt

The human genome contains many dispersed tandem-repetitive 'minisatellite' regions detected via a shared 10-15-base pair 'core' sequence similar to the generalized recombination signal (chi) of Escherichia coli. Many minisatellites are highly polymorphic due to allelic variation in repeat copy number in the minisatellite. A probe based on a tandem-repeat of the core sequence can detect many highly variable loci...
