Simple repeats are not found more abundantly at G/C-rich regions.
Three hundred and fifty cosmids from chromosome 7, previously analyzed for the presence of rare-cutting restriction enzyme sites, were analyzed for the presence of microsatellite sequences [(CA)n or (CT)n repeats]. Of these, 147 cosmids were found to contain at least one (CA)n repeat unit and 51 cosmids contained at least one (CT)n repeat unit. No evidence was found for the prevalence of microsatellite repeat units in the vicinity of rare-cutter restriction enzyme sites.
