Evidence for nonindependent evolution of adjacent microsatellites in the human genome.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 2009

Varela Miguel A, Amos William

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are short tandem repeats that evolve predominantly through a stepwise mutation model. Despite intensive study, many aspects of their evolution remain unresolved, particularly the question of how compound microsatellites containing two different motifs evolve. Previous work described profound asymmetries in the probability that any given second motif lies either 3' or 5' of an AC repeat tract. Here...
