Genomic microsatellites as evolutionary chronometers: a test in wild cats.

Genome research - 1 Mar 2002

Driscoll Carlos A, Menotti-Raymond Marilyn, Nelson George, Goldstein David, O'Brien Stephen J

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear microsatellite loci (2- to 5-bp tandem repeats) would seem to be ideal markers for population genetic monitoring because of their abundant polymorphism, wide dispersal in vertebrate genomes, near selective neutrality, and ease of assessment; however, questions about their mode of generation, mutation rates and ascertainment bias have limited interpretation considerably. We have assessed the patterns of...
