What is the mutational mechanism that gives rise to variation in repeat length?
How does the mutational mechanism described above differ from that resulting in SNPs or the gain/loss of RFLPs?
At a microsatellite you observe alleles with sizes 220, 228, and 232 nucleotides. What repeat types were possibly analyzed?
The mutational mechanism that gives rise to variation in repeat length is insertion and deletion. Insertion will increase the repeat length and deletion will decrease the repeat length.
