Abstract excerpt
Constraints on microsatellite length appear to vary in a species-specific manner. We know very little about the nature of these constraints and why they should vary among species. While surveying microsatellite variation in the Mediterranean gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata, we discovered an unusual pattern of covariation between two closely linked microsatellite loci. One- and two-locus haplotypes were scored...
