Directional evolution of size coupled with ascertainment bias for variation in Drosophila microsatellites.

Abstract excerpt

Species-specific differences in microsatellite locus length and ascertainment bias have both been proposed to explain differences in microsatellite variability and length usually observed when loci isolated in one species are used to survey variation in a related species. Here we provide a simple algebraic approach to independently estimate the contributions of true species-specific length differences and...
