Abstract excerpt
Variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci typically exhibit high rates of germline mutations that alter allele length and thus are ideal models for examining processes governing repeat sequence instability. We have characterized by nucleotide sequencing the internal structure of the apolipoprotein B (Apo B) 3' VNTR in a sample of same- and different-sized alleles previously associated with flanking marker...
