Microsatellite allelic homoplasy due to variable flanking sequences.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Mar 1997

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 invol...
