Measuring Microsatellite Conservation in Mammalian Evolution with a Phylogenetic Birth–Death Model
Microsatellites make up ∼3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection. To investigate this conservation, we performed a genome-wide analysis of human microsatellites and measured their conservation u...
