Microsatellite evolution at two hypervariable loci revealed by extensive avian pedigrees.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2003

Beck Nadeena R, Double Michael C, Cockburn Andrew

Abstract excerpt

Genealogies generated through a long-term study of superb fairy-wrens (Malurus cyaneus) were used to investigate mutation within two hypervariable microsatellite loci. Of 3,230 meioses examined at the tetranucleotide locus (Mcy micro 8), 45 mutations were identified, giving a mutation rate of 1.4%. At the dinucleotide locus (Mcy micro 4) 30 mutations were recorded from 2,750 meioses giving a mutation rate of...
