Microsatellites and Mutations
Discover how microsatellites, short repeat sequences in our DNA, play a crucial role in genetic mutations. As DNA replicates, slippage can lead to significant changes in these regions, potentially causing disorders like Huntington's disease, which is linked to abnormal trinucleotide repeats. Understanding this process sheds light on the complexities of genetic variation and its implications for health.In this clip
