Microsatellites within genes: structure, function, and evolution.
Recently, increasingly more microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been found and characterized within protein-coding genes and their untranslated regions (UTRs). These data provide useful information to study possible SSR functions. Here, we review SSR distributions within expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and genes including protein-coding, 3'-UTRs and 5'-UTRs, and introns; and ...
متن کاملRapid PCR-based characterization of sequences flanking microsatellites in large-insert libraries.
Microsatellite polymorphisms are widely being employed as a major tool in genome analysis. Analysis of length polymorphisms in the PCR depends on the elucidation of the sequence of their flanking regions. Different methods have been developed for the efficient characterization of the flanking sequences. Small insert genomic libraries directly suitable for sequencing of the entire insert and hig...
متن کاملIntestinal adenomas can develop with a stable karyotype and stable microsatellites.
Loss of function of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)/Apc tumor suppressor gene occurs early in the etiology of intestinal cancer in mammals. In human colonic tumors, genomic instability is proposed to be associated with tumor initiation by inducing loss of APC function. We have used a mouse model of inherited intestinal cancer (Apc(Min)/+, Min/+) to analyze the earliest stages of tumorigene...
متن کاملTransposed Genes in Arabidopsis Are Often Associated with Flanking Repeats
Much of the eukaryotic genome is known to be mobile, largely due to the movement of transposons and other parasitic elements. Recent work in plants and Drosophila suggests that mobility is also a feature of many nontransposon genes and gene families. Indeed, analysis of the Arabidopsis genome suggested that as many as half of all genes had moved to unlinked positions since Arabidopsis diverged ...
متن کاملEpigenetic Inactivation of a Cluster of Genes Flanking
Biallelic promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing of the MLH1 gene occurs in the majority of sporadic colorectal cancers exhibiting microsatellite instability due to defective DNA mismatch repair. Long-range epigenetic silencing of contiguous genes has been found on chromosome 2q14 in colorectal cancer. We hypothesized that epigenetic silencing of MLH1 could occur on a regional scale...
