Mutation rate variation at human dinucleotide microsatellites.

Abstract excerpt

Mutation is the ultimate source of genetic variation, and mutation rate is thus an important parameter governing the extent of genetic variation. Microsatellites are highly informative genetic markers that have been widely used in genetic studies. While previous studies showed that the mutation rate differs in di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide repeats, how mutation rate distributes within each class of repeat is...
