Preferred Label : minisatellite repeats;
MeSH definition : Tandem arrays of moderately repetitive, short (10-60 bases) DNA sequences which are
found dispersed throughout the GENOME, at the ends of chromosomes (TELOMERES), and
clustered near telomeres. Their degree of repetition is two to several hundred at
each locus. Loci number in the thousands but each locus shows a distinctive repeat
unit.;
