Microsatellite evolution: Mutations, sequence variation, and homoplasy in the hypervariable avian microsatellite locus HrU10.

BMC evolutionary biology - 9 May 2008

Anmarkrud Jarl A, Kleven Oddmund, Bachmann Lutz, Lifjeld Jan T

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Microsatellites are frequently used genetic markers in a wide range of applications, primarily due to their high length polymorphism levels that can easily be genotyped by fragment length analysis. However, the mode of microsatellite evolution is yet not fully understood, and the role of interrupting motifs for the stability of microsatellites remains to be explored in more detail. Here we present a...
