Phylogenetic inference and comparative evolution of a complex microsatellite and its flanking regions in carnivores.

Abstract excerpt

We sequenced locus Mel 08, with complex short repetitive motifs, in 24 carnivore species belonging to five different families in order to explore mutational changes in the region in the context of locus and species evolution. This non-coding locus includes up to four different parts or repetitive motifs showing size variability. The variability consists of repeat additions and deletions; substitutions, insertions...
