Stabilization of microsatellite sequences by variant repeats in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1997

Petes T D, Greenwell P W, Dominska M

Abstract excerpt

We examined the effect of a single variant repeat on the stability of a 51-base pair (bp) microsatellite (poly GT). We found that the insertion stabilizes the microsatellite about fivefold in wild-type strains. The stabilizing effect of the variant base was also observed in strains with mutations in the DNA mismatch repair genes pms1, msh2 and msh3, indicating that this effect does not require a functional DNA...
