Size homoplasy and mutational processes of interrupted microsatellites in two bee species, Apis mellifera and Bombus terrestris (Apidae).

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 1995

Abstract excerpt

Similar microsatellite electromorphs (PCR products of the same size) can arise from independent mutational events. Such alleles are not identical by descent. This phenomenon, termed size homoplasy, was studied by sequencing electromorphs of two microsatellite loci in which the stretch of basic repeats is interrupted by different short (1-2 bp) DNA motifs. The number and position of these interruptions were...
