Repeat elements surrounding human minisatellites CEB1, MS32 and MS31. Minisatellites (top) and other tandem and dispersed repetitive elements (bottom) are shown for each locus. The highly variable minisatellites CEB1, MS32 and MS31A are orientated with the unstable end of the repeat array to the left. The closely linked minisatellite MS31B shows only modest variability. The orientation of dispersed repeats is indicated by arrows, with multiple dispersed repeats per box indicated by additional arrows.
