Abstract excerpt
Minisatellites are tandemly repeated DNA sequences with repeat units in the range 6-100 bp. They are preferentially located in subtelomeric euchromatin of chromosomes of higher eukaryotes. Minisatellite loci frequently show variability in allele length. This variability is a consequence of high frequency of mutations which change repeat copy number of locus. The most part of minisatellite mutations are germline...
