Abstract excerpt

We describe the first haploid minisatellite, the human Y chromosome-specific locus, MSY1. It consists of an array of 48-114 AT-rich 25 bp repeats of at least five different variant types. A minisatellite variant repeat PCR (MVR-PCR) system gives Y-specific DNA codes, with a virtual heterozygosity...
