Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite loci are generally assumed to evolve via a stepwise mutational process and a battery of statistical techniques has been developed in recent years based on this or related mutation models. It is therefore important to investigate the appropriateness of these models in a wide variety of taxa. We used two approaches to examine mutation patterns in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum: (i) we...
