Microsatellite null alleles in parentage analysis.

Heredity - 1 Nov 2004

Dakin E E, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

Highly polymorphic microsatellite markers are widely employed in population genetic analyses (eg, of biological parentage and mating systems), but one potential drawback is the presence of null alleles that fail to amplify to detected levels in the PCR assays. Here we examine 233 published articles in which authors reported the suspected presence of one or more microsatellite null alleles, and we review how these...
