Evidence for complex mutations at microsatellite loci in Drosophila.

Genetics - 1 Jun 1999

Colson I, Goldstein D B

Abstract excerpt

Fifteen lines each of Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans, and D. sechellia were scored for 19 microsatellite loci. One to four alleles of each locus in each species were sequenced, and microsatellite variability was compared with sequence structure. Only 7 loci had their size variation among species consistent with the occurrence of strictly stepwise mutations in the repeat array, the others showing extensive...
