Microsatellite evolution: Mutations, sequence variation, and homoplasy in the hypervariable avian microsatellite locus <it>HrU10</it>
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microsatellites are frequently used genetic markers in a wide range of applications, primarily due to their high length polymorphism levels that can easily be genotyped by fragment length analysis. However, the mode of microsatellite...
