Somatic microsatellite variability as a measure of DNA stability in cancer and DNA repair disorders
Microsatellites (MSTs) are short tandem repeats of motifs, 1 — 6 nucleotide in length, and are considered mutational 'hot-spots' and show a greater degree of somatic variability and population polymorphisms than surrounding DNA sequences. MSTs provide for a unique computational alignment p...
