Heterogeneity in the rate and pattern of germline mutation at individual microsatellite loci.

Abstract excerpt

There is a lack of information on how individual microsatellite loci differ with respect to their mutation properties. Such variation will have an important bearing on our understanding of the ubiquitous occurrence of simple repeat sequences in eukaryotic genomes and on deriving proper mutation models that can be incorporated into genetic distance estimates. We genotyped approximately 100 families of the bird...
