Phylogeography and conservation of the bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas) inferred from mitochondrial and microsatellite DNA (2011, background): “Reported estimates of microsatellite mutation rates range from 1.0 9 10-2 to 9.0 9 10-6 per gene per generation (Ellegren 2000).”
Microsatellite diversity in tetraploid Gossypium germplasm: assembling a highly informative genotyping set of cotton SSRs (2006, background): “We observed that within a repeat type, and within the range of variation in repeat number observed here, the mutation rate at a microsatellite tends to relate to its length (Ellegren 2000; Vigouroux et al. 2002).”
Sampling Error, Effective Paternity, and Estimating the Genetic Structure of Honey Bee Colonies (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (2002, background): “In particular, mutation rates at microsatellite loci are relatively high, occurring on the order of 10 3 to 10 6 (Ellegren 2000).”
Homoplasy and mutation model at microsatellite loci and their consequences for population genetics analysis (2002, background): “Most studies indicate that the TPM or the GSM are the most realistic mutation model among those defined above for microsatellite loci (reviewed in Estoup & Cornuet 1999; Ellegren 2000a; Schlötterer 2000).”
Genetic diversity and population structure of the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis in its native range (2009, background): “However, eVective population size might be substantially higher if the mutation rate is lower than average as it has been reported for some invertebrates (Ellegren 2000; Weetman et al. 2006b).”
Comparing molecular measures for detecting inbreeding depression (2002, background): “Furthermore, evidence is accumulating that microsatellites do not evolve in a simple stepwise process (Ellegren, 2000), suggesting that the rationale behind the use of MD(2) may be ̄awed.”
Methods of parentage analysis in natural populations (2003, background): “Mutation rates at microsatellite loci usually are low enough that a data set including several thousand genotypes will contain few mutations (Ellegren 2000).”
The estimation of population differentiation with microsatellite markers (2002, background): “It is however, unclear whether this result would hold for other microsatellite repeat motifs (di- and trinucleotides; Ellegren 2000a).”
Nuclear DNA analyses in genetic studies of populations: practice, problems and prospects (2003, background): “1999; Ellegren 2000a; Gardner et al .”
THE MOLECULAR TOOLBOX: GENETIC TECHNIQUES IN WILDLIFE ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT (2005, background): “…result from slip-strand mispairing, a process that adds or removes repeat units during DNA replication, resulting in a greatly elevated rate of mutation (approximately 10–3 to 10–4 per generation) compared to other neutral loci (Levinson and Gutman 1987; Schlötterer and Tautz 1992; Ellegren 2000).”
INVITED REVIEW: Using genome scans of DNA polymorphism to infer adaptive population divergence (2005, background): “For example, as mutation rates of human microsatellites (3 × 10–6 – 6 × 10–4; Ellegren 2000) are roughly four orders of magnitude higher than rates for single nucleotide changes (c.”
Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review (2002, background): “Although the mutation process seems to display distinct differences among species, repeat types, loci and alleles, age and sex (Brock et al. 1999; Hancock 1999; Ellegren 2000; Schlötterer 2000), the instability is predominantly manifested as changes in the number of SSR repeats.”
GENETIC APPROACHES FOR ESTIMATING THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF POPULATIONS (2005, background): “The correct mutation model and mutation rate are probably influenced by characteristics of individual loci (Ellegren 2000).”
Microsatellites and their genomic distribution, evolution, function and applications : A review with special reference to fish genetics (2006, background): “Since they evolve 10(2)–10(3) times faster than single-copy nuclear DNA, they are a powerful tool for analyzing recent and contemporary events (Ellegren, 2000).”
