Microsatellite variability differs between dinucleotide repeat motifs-evidence from Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2000

Bachtrog D, Agis M, Imhof M, Schlötterer C

Abstract excerpt

Recently, the use of microsatellites as genetic markers has become very popular. While their evolutionary dynamics are not yet fully understood, the emerging picture is that several factors are influencing microsatellite mutation rates. Recent experiments demonstrated a significant effect of repeat motif length on microsatellite mutation rates. Here, we studied the influence of the base composition of the...
