Abstract excerpt
The detection of somatic microsatellite (MS) alterations in tumors is often interpreted as a sign of underlying genomic instability. However, it is unclear why the proportions of altered MS loci vary between different mutator phenotype tumors. We present a simple mathematical analysis that can ac...
