Abstract
We isolated 96 dinucleotide repeats with five or more tandemly repeated units from a subgenomic Drosophila subobscura library. The mean repeat unit length of microsatellite clones in D. subobscura is 15, higher than that observed in other Drosophila species. Population variation was assayed in 32-40 chromosomes from Barcelona, Spain, using 18 randomly chosen microsatellite loci. Positive correlation between measures of variation and perfect repeat length measures (mean size, most common, and longest allele) is consistent with a higher mutation rate in loci with longer repeat units. Levels of microsatellite variation measured as variance in repeat number and heterozygosity in D. subobscura were similar to those of Drosophila pseudoobscura and higher than those of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans. Our data suggest that higher levels of microsatellite variation, and possiblydensity, in D. subobscura compared with D. melanogaster are due to both a higher average effective population and a higher intrinsic slippage rate inthe former species.
