Evolutionary history of microsatellites in the obscura group of Drosophila.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Apr 2001

Noor M A, Kliman R M, Machado C A

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary origins of microsatellites are not well understood. Some investigators have suggested that point mutations that expand repeat arrays beyond a threshold size trigger microsatellites to become variable. However, little empirical data has been brought forth on this and related issues. In this study, we examine the evolutionary history of microsatellites in six species within the obscura group of...
