Estimating effective population size or mutation rate with microsatellites.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2004

Xu Hongyan, Fu Yun-Xin

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are short tandem repeats that are widely dispersed among eukaryotic genomes. Many of them are highly polymorphic; they have been used widely in genetic studies. Statistical properties of all measures of genetic variation at microsatellites critically depend upon the composite parameter theta = 4Nmicro, where N is the effective population size and micro is mutation rate per locus per generation....
