Abstract excerpt
Genotyping of 11 microsatellites in 432 offspring from 28 families of the hermaphroditic, freshwater snail Bulinusforskalii detected 10 de novo mutant alleles. This gave an estimated mutation rate of 1.1 x 10(-3) per locus per gamete per generation. There was a trend towards repeat length expansi...
