RESUMO

Minisatellite isoallelism, i.e. the occurrence of minisatellite alleles with different internal sequence composition but indistinguishable length, is a common limitation of minisatellite allele length analysis. Internal sequence variation can be used to distinguish such isoalleles, provided that detailed sequence knowledge of its basis is available. We now show that minisatellite isoalleles can also be simply resolved by single-stranded conformational polymorphisms (SSCP) arising during agarose gel electrophoresis. SSCP on agarose gels can be used to distinguish minisatellite isoalleles either after PCR amplification, or by standard Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA.
