Abstract excerpt
Tandemly repeated (dC-dA)n.(dG-dT)n sequences occur abundantly and are found in most eukaryotic genomes. To investigate the level of conservation of these repeat sequences in nonhuman primates, we have analyzed seven human chromosome 13 dinucleotide (CA)n repeat loci in chimpanzees by DNA amplification using primers designed for analysis of human loci. Comparable levels of polymorphism at these loci in the two...
