Stage-specificity of spontaneous mutation at a tandem repeat DNA locus in the mouse germline.
Mouse expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci are the most unstable loci in the mouse genome. Despite the fact that over the last decade these loci have been extensively used for studying germline mutation induction in mice, to date little is known about the mechanisms underlying spontaneous and induced ESTR mutation. Here we used flow cytometry and single-molecule PCR to compare the frequenc...
متن کاملA Brief Review of Short Tandem Repeat Mutation
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are short tandemly repeated DNA sequences that involve a repetitive unit of 1-6 bp. Because of their polymorphisms and high mutation rates, STRs are widely used in biological research. Strand-slippage replication is the predominant mutation mechanism of STRs, and the stepwise mutation model is regarded as the main mutation model. STR mutation rates can be influenced ...
متن کاملHuman tandem repeat sequences in forensic DNA typing.
It has been 20 years since the first development of DNA fingerprinting and the start of forensic DNA typing. Ever since, human tandem repeat DNA sequences have been the main targets for forensic DNA analysis. These repeat sequences are classified into minisatellites (or VNTRs) and microsatellites (or STRs). In this brief review, we discuss the historical and current forensic applications of suc...
متن کاملSequence analysis TRAL: tandem repeat annotation library
Motivation: Currently, more than 40 sequence tandem repeat detectors are published, providing heterogeneous, partly complementary, partly conflicting results. Results: We present TRAL, a tandem repeat annotation library that allows running and parsing of various detection outputs, clustering of redundant or overlapping annotations, several statistical frameworks for filtering false positive ann...
متن کاملUniform 13C/15N-labeling of DNA by tandem repeat amplification.
An optimized procedure has been described for the large-scale production of stable isotopeenriched duplex oligonucleotides of designed sequence. Large-scale production of labeled nucleotide triphosphates can be produced in this procedure simultaneously with labeled proteins, thereby providing synthetic dNMP precursors at no additional cost. The procedure is robust, with a minimum product:templa...
