title: Diagnostic applications of repetitive DNA sequences.
abstract: The potential, the advantages and the different areas of diagnostic applications are discussed for the various categories of repetitive DNA sequences. Since all eukaryotes are characterized by genomic redundancy, these sensitive, rapid and comparatively simple techniques are revolutionizing many a field of clinical and experimental diagnostics.
