Characterisation of minisatellite-associated meiotic recombination hotspots in the human genome

Hypervariable minisatellites form a subset of tandem repeat arrays which show very high rates of germline instability. Previous detection of recombinants near human minisatellite MS32 identified a crossover hotspot that appears to be responsible for driving repeat instability. In this thesis, analys...
