The use of microsatellite markers has greatly accelerated the mapping of important traits and
the characterization of genome structure in several plant and animal species. Microsatellites …

Microsatellite [simple-sequence repeat (SSR)] markers were developed and positioned on
the genetic map of tetraploid cotton. Three hundred and ninety-two unique microsatellite …

Microsatellite markers or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) represent a new class of genetic
markers for cotton (Gossypium sp.). Sixty-five SSR primer pairs were used to amplify 71 …

Although much research has been conducted to characterize microsatellites and develop
markers, the distribution of microsatellites remains ambiguous and the use of microsatellite …

There is an immediate need for a high-density genetic map of cotton anchored with fiber
genes to facilitate marker-assisted selection (MAS) for improved fiber traits. With this goal in …

Fine mapping and positional cloning will eventually improve with the anchoring of additional
markers derived from genomic clones such as BACs. From 2,603 new BAC-end genomic …

To increase the numbers of microsatellites available for use in constructing a genetic map,
and facilitate the use of functional genomics to elucidate fiber development and breeding in …
