Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis of human Y-chromosome microsatellites provides evidence of biased mutation.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 12 Oct 1999

Abstract excerpt

We describe a Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis of five human Y- chromosome microsatellite polymorphisms based on samples from five diverse populations. Our analysis provides strong evidence for mutational bias favoring increase in length at all loci. Estimates of population coalescent times and population size from our two largest samples, one African and one European, suggest that the African population is...
