title: Selective isolation of highly polymorphic (dC-dA)n.(dG-dT)n microsatellites by stringent hybridization.
abstract: We defined a hybridization condition for isolation of clones carrying long (dC-dA)n.(dG-dT)n microsatellites from a genomic plasmid library. By using (dC-dA)20 oligonucleotide as a probe and hybridizing under stringent conditions, more than two-thirds of the obtained plasmid carried the repeats that were longer than (dC-dA)14 and highly polymorphic.
