Persistence of microsatellite arrays in finite populations.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 1998

Stephan W, Kim Y

Abstract excerpt

Given that most microsatellite arrays are of no obvious functional significance, it is natural to ask how long these sequences persist during evolution. The expected persistence time was calculated for microsatellite arrays undergoing replication slippage and random genetic drift using diffusion theory and Monte Carlo simulation. In each of the three models of replication slippage compared, copy number changes...
