Differential display of genome subsets containing specific interspersed repeats.
A genomic differential display method was developed that analyzes many restriction fragment length polymorphisms simultaneously. Interspersed repeat sequences were used to reduce DNA sample complexity and to target genomic subsets of interest. This work focused on trinucleotide repeats because of their importance in human inherited diseases. Immobilized repeat-containing oligonucleotides were u...
متن کاملWhole-genome experimental identification of insertion/deletion polymorphisms of interspersed repeats by a new general approach
A new experimental technique for genome-wide detection of integration sites of polymorphic retroelements (REs) is described. The technique allows one to reveal the absence of a retroelement in an individual genome provided that this retroelement is present in at least one of several other genomes under comparison. Since quite a number of genomes are compared simultaneously, the search for polym...
متن کاملDistribution of the mammalian-wide interspersed repeats (MIRs) in the isochores of the human genome.
The distribution of MIRs (mammalian-wide interspersed repeats) was investigated in 164 human sequences (> or = 100 kb), which were assigned, according to their GC level, to isochore families L, H1, H2 and H3. MIR elements, whose total number in the genome was estimated to be about 3.3 x 10(5), were found to be unevenly distributed in human isochores. The majority of MIRs (55%) were found in the...
متن کاملMobile Interspersed Repeats Are Major Structural Variants in the Human Genome
Characterizing structural variants in the human genome is of great importance, but a genome wide analysis to detect interspersed repeats has not been done. Thus, the degree to which mobile DNAs contribute to genetic diversity, heritable disease, and oncogenesis remains speculative. We perform transposon insertion profiling by microarray (TIP-chip) to map human L1(Ta) retrotransposons (LINE-1 s)...
متن کاملDifferential distribution of simple sequence repeats in eukaryotic genome sequences.
Complete chromosome/genome sequences available from humans, Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were analyzed for the occurrence of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats. In all of the genomes studied, dinucleotide repeat stretches tended to be longer than other repeats. Additionally, tetranucleotide repeats in humans and t...
