Microsatellite instability: The mutator that mutates the other mutatorManuel PeruchoThe Burnham Institute, 10901 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California 92037, USA Microsatellite mutations are useful markers of both tumor clonality and genomic instability but the origin of the mutator mutations responsible is still not well understood (pages 676−681).
