title: Hypervariable minisatellites: recombinators or innocent bystanders?
abstract: It has become apparent in recent years that unexpectedly large numbers of minisatellites exist within the eukaryotic genome. Their use in genetics is well known, but as with any new class of sequence, there is also much speculation about their involvement in a range of biological processes. How much is known of their biology?
