Mutational bias in penguin microsatellite DNA.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Shepherd L D, Lambert D M

Abstract excerpt

Analysis of nucleotide sequence variation at a microsatellite DNA locus revealed extensive size homoplasy of alleles in Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). Variation in the flanking regions at this locus allowed discrimination between mechanisms proposed for length changes in microsatellite DNA alleles. We further examined the structure of alleles for the same microsatellite DNA locus across 11 additional...
