sequence tagged site

Also found in: Acronyms.

sequence tagged site (STS)

a short, unique DNA sequence, usually 100 to 500bp in length, that can easily be identified and that occurs once in the CHROMOSOME or GENOME being studied. Where different STSs are found they can be useful in the mapping of genomes.

Specific sequence tagged site (STS) analysis of AZFc: Analysis of AZFc specific STSs was performed on genomic DNA by PCR using sY1291 (specific for gr/gr) and sY1191 (specific for b2/b3).7 Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes using phenol-chloroform extraction followed by ethanol precipitation.
