Preferred Label : sequence tagged sites;
MeSH definition : Short tracts of DNA sequence that are used as landmarks in GENOME mapping. In most
instances, 200 to 500 base pairs of sequence define a Sequence Tagged Site (STS) that
is operationally unique in the human genome (i.e., can be specifically detected by
the polymerase chain reaction in the presence of all other genomic sequences). The
overwhelming advantage of STSs over mapping landmarks defined in other ways is that
the means of testing for the presence of a particular STS can be completely described
as information in a database.;
