Abstract

Similar microsatellite electromorphs (PCR products of the same size) can arise from independent mutational events. Such alleles are not identical by descent. This phenomenon, termed size homoplasy, was studied by sequencing electromorphs of two microsatellite loci in which the stretch of basic repea...
