Mechanisms of mutation at mouse expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci
Mouse expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci are non-coding, unstable arrays of short repeat units with high spontaneous mutation rates (up to 15% per gamete). Exposure to ionising radiating and some chemicals can elevate the mutation rate further, which makes them useful tools for the assessment...
