title: Sequence patterns and hybridization analysis of clones generated by Alu-PCR.
abstract: A series of clones from an Alu-PCR library were analysed in more detail. Characterization by Southern blot hybridization and sequencing displayed several features common to all probes generated by this approach: Short length of the PCR-products as well as the presence of homologous regions on both ends resulted in a limited feasibility for filter hybridization and a low probability of restriction length polymorphisms. In addition, a series of different short repeats at the 3'-ends of Alu-repeats and present in the generated probes offers a rich source of potential variable sites accessible by PCR.
