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 f...
