An evaluation of genetic distances for use with microsatellite loci.
…, A Ruiz Linares, LL Cavalli-Sforza, MW Feldman - Genetics, 1995 - academic.oup.com
Mutations of alleles at microsatellite loci tend to result in alleles with repeat scores similar to
those of the alleles from which they were derived. Therefore the difference in repeat score …
