Dependence of microsatellite mutability on repeat number (A) and length (B). Mutability is per locus per generation. The bands around the curves indicate the 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of empirical distributions obtained through a resampling procedure (see Methods). Only points with at least 30 microsatellites are plotted.
