Extensive homoplasy, nonstepwise mutations, and shared ancestral polymorphism at a complex microsatellite locus in Lake Malawi cichlids.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2000

van Oppen M J, Rico C, Turner G F, Hewitt G M

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have suggested that size homoplasy is a prevalent feature of microsatellites and is expected to increase with time of divergence among populations and taxa. In this study, we performed sequence analysis of alleles from a complex microsatellite locus (Pzeb4, initially isolated from Pseudotropheus (Maylandia) zebra) from 1 midwater-feeding and 10 rock-dwelling cichlid fish species from Lake Malawi,...
