Until recently, recombination studies in humans and mice had identified only a few anecdotal
examples of crossover hot spots. Recently, the pace of discovery has accelerated. In every …

Simple tandem-repetitive regions of DNA (or ‘minisatellites’) which are dispersed in the
human genome frequently show substantial length polymorphism arising from unequal …

The human genome contains many dispersed tandem-repetitive ‘minisatellite’ regions detected
via a shared 10–15-base pair ‘core’ sequence similar to the generalized recombination …

Many highly polymorphic minisatellite loci can be detected simultaneously in the human
genome by hybridization to probes consisting of tandem repeats of the ‘core’ sequence 1 . The …

The human genome contains a set of minisatellites, each of which consists of tandem
repeats of a DNA segment containing the ‘core’ sequence, a putative recombination signal in …

OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is common in older adults. Determination of risk factors
for onset of knee OA may help in its prevention. The objective of this systematic review, and …

There is considerable interest in understanding patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the
human genome, to aid investigations of human evolution and facilitate association studies …

Malaria elimination strategies require surveillance of the parasite population for genetic
changes that demand a public health response, such as new forms of drug resistance 1 , 2 . …

Tandem-repetitive minisatellite regions in vertebrate DNA frequently show substantial allelic
variation in the number of repeat units. This variation is thought to arise through processes …

Germline mutation at human minisatellite loci has been studied among children born in
heavily polluted areas of the Mogilev district of Belarus after the Chernobyl accident and in a …
