title: The isolation and characterisation of plant sequences homologous to human hypervariable minisatellites.
abstract: We have isolated DNA probes, homologous to the human hypervariable minisatellite sequence 33.15, from the genome of rice (Oryza sativa). These probes are capable of producing a multilocus rice DNA fingerprint. The rice sequence has a tandem repeating structure based on a 12 bp GC-rich repeat which shows homology to its human counterpart. This probe detects up to 30 loci which are at a number of unlinked chromosomal sites. The GC-rich sequence is invariably associated with an open reading frame (ORF) of unknown function. The ORF is probably a member of a small multigene family.
