Abstract excerpt
Expansions of trinucleotide repeats in DNA, a novel source of mutations associated with human disease, may arise by DNA replication slippage initiated by hairpin folding of primer or template strands containing such repeats. To evaluate the stability of single-strand folding by repeating triplets of DNA bases, thermal melting profiles of (CAG)10, (CTG)10, (GAC)10 and (GTC)10 strands are determined at low and...
