Semiautomated resolution of overlapping stutter patterns in genomic microsatellite analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are polymorphic, short nucleotide repeating units scattered more or less randomly throughout the genome. They are readily detectable by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and often used as genomic markers. One problem in the analysis of microsatellite data is the appearance of secondary bands during PCR that result in extended banding patterns. These "stutter" patterns may overlap in heterozygous...
