Abstract excerpt
Populations of parthenogenetic lizards of the genus Darevskia consist of genetically identical animals, and represent a unique model for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the variability and evolution of hypervariable DNA repeats. As unisexual lineages, parthenogenetic lizards are characterized by some level of genetic diversity at microsatellite loci. We cloned and sequenced a number of (GATA)n...
