… repeats and the mutation rate was observed. Our data demonstrate that mutation rates of …
orders of magnitude and that different alleles at one locus exhibit different mutation rates. …

… Short tandem repeats (STRs) are short tandemly repeated DNA sequences that involve a
repetitive unit of 1–6 bp. Because of their polymorphisms and high mutation rates, STRs are …

… Observed mutation rates for individual STRPs ranged from 0 to 8x10~3 . The average
mutation rate for tetranucleotide STRPs was nearly four times higher than the average rate for …

… of no correlation between the mutation rate and repeat number is 0.030. The highest
mutation rate of alleles was found at the DYS389II marker with one mutation in 22 alleles of “33”, …

… We have analyzed the tandem repeat pattern of the P. pacificus genome and studied the …
mutation rates for microsatellite markers. From the mutation patterns and mutation rates …

… We estimate an effective mutation rate at an average Y chromosome short-tandem repeat
locus as 6.9×10 −4 per 25 years, with a standard deviation across loci of 5.7×10 −4 , using …

… repeats or those with long repeat units (>4bp), have low mutation rates and may not be
polymorphic in a population. (b) Repeats with rapid mutation rates may show a wide range of …

… The key insight of our mutation rate estimation procedure is that different classes of … undefined
standard errors with mutation rates likely below our mutation rate detection threshold (cyan…

… ) exhibit mutation rates from 10 −4 to 10 −3 mutations per locus … of 100 bp—these mutation
rates would correspond to two orders … We report the mutabilities of short tandem repeats as a …

… The mutation rates of microsatellites observed in this study … to two complete repeat units and
more mutations in the male … higher mutation rates of loci with longer uninterrupted repeats, …
