Microsatellite evolution in the mitochondrial genome of Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii).

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 2005

Mayer Frieder, Kerth Gerald

Abstract excerpt

Being highly polymorphic, microsatellites are widely used genetic markers. They are abundant throughout the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes but rare in the mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of animals. We describe a short but highly polymorphic AT microsatellite in the mtDNA control region of Bechstein's bat and discuss the role of mutation, genetic drift, and selection in maintaining its variability. As heteroplasmy...
