Abstract

The mutation-rate evolution is discussed based on female choice. Microsatellites and minisatellites (SSRs) 'slippage' mutation has occurred at rates that are greater than those for single nucleotide substitutions and SSR repeat-number alleles have affected the genetic function from protein coding to exon splicing to regulatory interaction.
