Abstract excerpt
Some minisatellite structures are the site of high rates of DNA recombination in non-pathological situations, with an excess of motif insertion events and a locus-dependent sex-specific mutation bias. We previously reported the cloning of the hypermutable minisatellite locus CEB1 (D2S90), remarkable for its 13% mutation rate in the male germline (compared to approximately 0.4% in female). We have sought to...
