  1. ...in a plant . To further explore the relationship between meiotic recombination and epigenetic information, in plant genes versus repeats, we mapped SPO11-1-oligonucleotides, crossovers, and chromatin throughout the ∼135 Mb Arabidopsis thaliana , which contains diverse DNA and RNA transposons...
  2. ...in which the minisatellite shows meiotic instability depends on the coincidence of a tandem repeat with a DSB hotspot. Conversely, minisatellites can be made unstable in mitosis in yeast strains deficient for some aspects of DNA replication ( Kokoska et al. 1998 ), so the yeast model has already provided...
  3. ...be an additional source of variability ( Viguera et al. 2001 ). Repeats appear to be evenly distributed across the , and repeats located near meiotic hot spots are not noticeably more polymorphic than those located in recombination cold spots ( Richard and Dujon 2006 ). This suggests that the mutation frequency...
  4. ...evolution pointed toward both mitotic/meiotic recombination and replication slippage as influencing VNTR expansion and variability (Jeffreys et al. 1985). Repeat directionality (or polarity) has been observed in STRs, where the directionality played a role in instability of the repeat (Eichler et al. 1995...
  5. ...minisatellite. CEB310—which exhibited meiotic mutation events, but which we do not here classify as hypermutable—is unusual in that its sequence is 80% AT. It is reminiscent of the tandem repeats studied in Giraudeau et al. (1999) , that is, minisatellites made up of degenerated microsatellite-like repeated...
  6. ...in their thermostability, and this may affect their function. Yet, G4s may also hinder replication, transcription, and translation and may increase instability and mutation rates. Therefore, depending on their genomic location, thermostability, and functionality, G4 loci might evolve under different selective pressures...
  7. ...regions >1 kb nearly devoid of nucleosomes in an arrangement that is similar for meiotic and somatic cells; however, this is difficult to accept given the much repeated observation that hotspots sequences are enriched for H3K4me3 nucleosomes. Shenkar et al. (1991) reported one hotspot that contained...
  8. ...( Jeffreys et al. 1998 ). It is therefore possible that the insulin minisatellite may also be associated with a weak hotspot perhaps 3′ to the minisatellite. Consistent with this, sperm mutation studies have revealed a low frequency recombination-based mode of repeat DNA instability in the germline...
  9. ...in instability of the sequences in microbe hosts, including large blocks of micro- and minisatellites and a high density of Alu repeats. Sequencing of the gap regions, in both BAC and YAC forms, allowed us to generate a complete sequence of four genes, including the neuronal cell signaling gene SCK1/SLI...
  10. ...and histone modifications, are associated with genomic instabilities and cancers (Fernandez-Capetillo et al. 2004; Helleday 2010), and congenital genomic rearrangements and aneuploidies have been associated with errors in meiotic recombination (Hassold and Hunt 2001; Sasaki et al. 2010). Such gross genomic...
