Abstract excerpt
In order to develop models which appropriately reflect microsatellite evolution, more knowledge is required about the processes by which these simple sequences evolve. In this study, historical mutation events in three avian microsatellite loci belonging to distinct classes of repeat types (one perfect di-, one compound di-, and one perfect tetranucleotide repeat) were examined by sequence analysis of 76 alleles...
