Directional evolution for microsatellite size in maize.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2003

Vigouroux Yves, Matsuoka Yoshihiro, Doebley John

Abstract excerpt

Directional evolution in microsatellites is the tendency for microsatellites either to increase or to decrease in size over time between populations. We analyzed 99 microsatellite loci in a sample of 193 maize plants representing the entire pre-Columbian range of this crop for evidence of directional evolution. We took advantage of the known phylogeographic history of maize with the independent movement of maize...
