Microsatellites can be misleading: an empirical and simulation study.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Aug 2000

Abstract excerpt

It has been long recognized that highly polymorphic genetic markers can lead to underestimation of divergence between populations when migration is low. Microsatellite loci, which are characterized by extremely high mutation rates, are particularly likely to be affected. Here, we report genetic differentiation estimates in a contact zone between two chromosome races of the common shrew (Sorex araneus), based on...
