This microsatellite is broken up into small fragments in species D adenoviruses and does not offer length variability. It does not appear to exist at all in other species. It is worth noting that these adenoviral microsatellites are unstable at the interspecies level. Hence, efforts to identify new microsatellites should begin with the identification of promising repetitive regions in the targeted species rather than attempting to rely on identified microsatellites from other species. Apparent base mutations that either shorten the microsatellite by interruption or elongate it by extension are shown in lowercase type. The position analyzed is bp 29895 in AY601634, from the complete genome of HAdV-7 (10).
