Microsatellites and their application to population genetic studies.

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites may soon become the markers of choice for molecular population genetic studies. However, our knowledge of these simple repetitive sequences and how they evolve in natural populations is far from complete. We highlight some recent results of population studies and advances in our ability to interpret some of the allele frequency distributions that we are beginning to observe.
