Homoplasy for size at microsatellite loci in humans and chimpanzees.

Genome research - 1 Mar 1996

Garza J C, Freimer N B

Abstract excerpt

Homoplasy (convergence in the size of different alleles) at microsatellite loci was examined by sequencing multiple alleles of two compound microsatellites and single copies of alleles of the same size at two other compound loci in both chimpanzees and humans. At one of the two loci for which mul...
