Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite DNA sequences have become the dominant source of nuclear genetic markers for most applications. It is important to investigate the basis of variation between alleles and to know if current assumptions about the mechanisms of microsatellite mutation (that is to say, variations involving simple changes in the number of repeat) are correct. We have characterized, by DNA sequencing, the human alleles...
