How useful are microsatellite loci in recovering short-term evolutionary history?
B. Kameswara Rao Sunil B. Sil Partha P. Majumder
Because microsatellite loci are abundant in the human genome and are highly polymorphic in most global populations, such loci have become very popular in studies on reconstructing evolutionary relationships among contemporary human populations. We have made an assessment of the efficiency of recovery of true evolutionary relationships using simulated data of microsatellite loci and a variety of distance measures. We find that allele frequency data on about 30 microsatellite loci and the use of
