title: TA-repeat microsatellites are closely associated with ARS consensus sequences in yeast chromosome III.
abstract: Microsatellites are repeats of very short sequences of DNA, interspersed in the genome. In this paper, the occurrence of the two-base repeat microsatellites has been investigated in the DNA sequence of yeast chromosome III. Only AT-repeats were found at a significantly high frequency. Some of the regions with the highest concentration of AT-repeats were located and further analysed, showing a close association with the core consensus of autonomously replicating sequences.
