Abstract excerpt

In a study of human diversity at a highly variable locus, we have mapped the internal structures of tandem-repetitive alleles from different populations at the minisatellite MS205 (D16S309). The results give an unusually detailed view of the different allelic structures represented on modern human chromosomes, and of the ancestral relationships between them. There was a clear difference in allelic diversity...
