On the genealogy of a duplicated microsatellite.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2007

Zhang Kangyu, Rosenberg Noah A

Abstract excerpt

When a microsatellite locus is duplicated in a diploid organism, a single pair of PCR primers may amplify as many as four distinct alleles. To study the evolution of a duplicated microsatellite, we consider a coalescent model with symmetric stepwise mutation. Conditional on the time of duplication and a mutation rate, both in a model of completely unlinked loci and in a model of completely linked loci, we compute...
