Microsatellite evolution: Markov transition functions for a suite of models.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Mar 2007

Watkins Joseph C

Abstract excerpt

This paper takes from the collection of models considered by Whittaker et al. [2003. Likelihood-based estimation of microsatellite mutation rates. Genetics 164, 781-787] derived from direct observation of microsatellite mutation in parent-child pairs and provides analytical expressions for the probability distributions for the change in number of repeats over any given number of generations. The mathematical...
