Application of high-throughput sequencing technologies to microsatellite genotyping
(SSRseq) has been shown to remove many of the limitations of electrophoresis-based …

Microsatellites may soon become the markers of choice for molecular population genetic
studies. However, our knowledge of these simple repetitive sequences and how they evolve …

The use of simple sequence repeats or microsatellites as genetic markers has become very
popular because of their abundance and length variation between different individuals …

Size homoplasy was analyzed at microsatellite loci by sequencing electromorphs, that is,
variants of the same size (base pairs). This study was conducted using five interrupted …

Although the frequency of microsatellite DNA regions generally increases with increasing
genome size, genome size has a negative effect on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

Development and optimization of novel species-specific microsatellites, or simple sequence
repeats (SSRs) remains an important step for studies in ecology, evolution, and behavior …

Variable numbers of tandem repeats are valuable markers in genetic studies. The arrays of
interest are simple microsatellites, containing repetitions of 1–5 nucleotides, and …

Pick a eukaryotic genome and initiate shot-gun sequencing–you will not have to sequence
too many clones until you start seeing simple tandem repeat sequences, such as …

Interruptions of microsatellite sequences impact genome evolution and can alter disease
manifestation. However, human polymorphism levels at interrupted microsatellites (iMSs) …

Background Short tandem repeat (STR), or “microsatellite”, is a tract of DNA in which a
specific motif (typically< 10 base pairs) is repeated multiple times. STRs are abundant …
