Dynamics of repeat polymorphisms under a forward-backward mutation model: within- and between-population variability at microsatellite loci.

Genetics - 1 May 1996

Kimmel M, Chakraborty R, Stivers D N, Deka R

Abstract excerpt

Suggested molecular mechanisms for the generation of new tandem repeats of simple sequences indicate that the microsatellite loci evolve via some of forward-backward mutation. We provide a mathematical basis for suggesting a measure of genetic distance between populations based on microsatellite...
