Background Simple sequence repeats (SSR), also called microsatellites, have been widely
used as genetic markers, and have been extensively studied in some model insects. At …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), also known as microsatellites, are one of the prominent
DNA sequences shaping the repeated fraction of eukaryotic genomes. In spite of their …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) represent an important source of genetic variation that
provides a basis for adaptation to different environments in organisms. In this study, we …

We present a detailed genome-wide comparative study of motif mismatches of
microsatellites among 20 insect species representing five taxonomic orders. The results …

We present a detailed genome-scale comparative analysis of simple sequence repeats
within protein coding regions among 25 insect genomes. The repetitive sequences in the …

Although microsatellites are ubiquitous in eukaryota, the number of available markers varies
strongly among taxa. This meta‐analysis was conducted on 32 insect species. Sequences …

Abstract Background Segmental duplications (SDs), also known as low-copy repeats, are
DNA sequences of length greater than 1 kb which are duplicated with a high degree of …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are common and widespread DNA
elements in genomes of many organisms. However, their dynamics in genome evolution is …

Abstract Background Microsatellites, or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), are short tandem
repeats of 1–6 nt motifs present in all genomes. Emerging evidence points to their role in …

InSatDb presents an interactive interface to query information regarding microsatellite
characteristics per se of five fully sequenced insect genomes (fruit-fly, honeybee, malarial …
