The "instability" caused by these  structures has been shown to be the genetic basis for many cases of Lynch syndrome and other colorectal cancers.
or fourth is fine after the giveaway is read]  17\. The variation of these structures is generally reported using Slatkin's Rst method. The "instability" caused by these  structures has been shown to be the genetic basis for many cases of Lynch syndrome and other colorectal cancers. A  simple model of these structures assumes that they change in a "stepwise" fashion. The fact that DNA polymerases often  experiences "slippage" in low complexity regions leads to the high rates of mutations and subsequent (*) polymorphism in  these structures. A subset of these structures based on trinucleotides has been implicated in Huntington's disease. For 10 points,  name these structures that are characterized by the presence of many repeats of two to six base pairs, which are examples of  variable number tandem repeats and are often used to conduct DNA fingerprinting.

microsatellites [or microsats; or single satellite repeats; or SSRs; or short tandem repeats; or STRs; accept variable number tandem repeats or VNTRs until mentioned]  3
