Heterozygosity increases microsatellite mutation rate, linking it to demographic history
BACKGROUND: Biochemical experiments in yeast suggest a possible mechanism that would cause heterozygous sites to mutate faster than equivalent homozygous sites. If such a process operates, it could undermine a key assumption at the core of population genetic theory, namely that mutation rate and pop...
