Individual variation in microsatellite mutation rate in barn swallows.

Abstract excerpt

The hypermutable nature of some microsatellite loci implies realistic possibilities for the large-scale detection of germline mutations by pedigree analysis. We have developed a model system for mutation analysis by the characterisation of patterns of mutation at three hypervariable microsatellites (two tetranucleotide and one pentanucleotide repeat loci) in barn swallows, all three markers having mutation rates...
