Complex evolution of a salmonid microsatellite locus and its consequences in inferring allelic divergence from size information.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Mar 1997

Angers B, Bernatchez L

Abstract excerpt

Sequence analysis of 78 alleles of a microsatellite locus was resolved at various taxonomic levels among salmonid fishes to test for congruence between size and sequence information. Allelic variability of this locus involved changes in number of dinucleotide repeats as expected for microsatellit...
