Fifteen microsatellite loci were studied in Drosophila melanogaster and
Drosophila simulans, two closely related sibling species which split 2- 3.5
MYA. Within-species variances in repeat number were found to differ up to
1,000-fold among individual microsatellite loci. A significant correlation
of log variances between both species indicated a locus- specific mutation
rate of microsatellites. Hence, locus-specific effects are apparently among
the major forces influencing microsatellite variation and deserve more
consideration in microsatellite analysis.
