Microsatellites: simple sequences with complex evolution
H Ellegren - Nature reviews genetics, 2004 - nature.com
Few genetic markers, if any, have found such widespread use as microsatellites, or
simple/short tandem repeats. Features such as hypervariability and ubiquitous occurrence …

The estimation of population differentiation with microsatellite markers
F Balloux, N Lugon‐Moulin - Molecular ecology, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Microsatellite markers are routinely used to investigate the genetic structuring of natural
populations. The knowledge of how genetic variation is partitioned among populations may …

Detection of reduction in population size using data from microsatellite loci
JC Garza, EG Williamson - Molecular ecology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
We demonstrate that the mean ratio of the number of alleles to the range in allele size, which
we term M, calculated from a population sample of microsatellite loci, can be used to detect …

Mutation rate in human microsatellites: influence of the structure and length of the tandem repeat
B Brinkmann, M Klintschar, F Neuhuber… - The American Journal of …, 1998 - cell.com
Summary In 10,844 parent/child allelic transfers at nine short-tandem-repeat (STR) loci, 23

Microsatellite mutations in the germline:: implications for evolutionary inference
H Ellegren - Trends in genetics, 2000 - cell.com
Microsatellite DNA sequences mutate at rates several orders of magnitude higher than that
of the bulk of DNA. Such high rates mean that spontaneous mutations that form new-length …
