Microsatellites are tandem repeats of short nucleotide motifs (1-5 bp long) dispersing widely
and relatively evenly in eukaryotic genomes. The high degree of allelic diversity at each …

DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system—MSH3, MSH6, PMS2, and the recently discovered
MLH3—contain mononucleotide microsatellites in their coding sequences. This intriguing …

A large majority of human microsatellite markers are longer than their homologues in
chimpanzees, suggesting that more expansion mutations have occurred in the lineage …

抄録< jats: title> Abstract</jats: title>< jats: p>'Microsatellite'is now the commonest term used
to describe tandem repeats of short sequence motifs (no more than six bases long) …

Microsatellite enrichment is an excess of repetitive sequences characteristic to all studied
eukaryotes. It is thought to result from the accumulated effects of replication slippage …

Microsatellites make up∼ 3% of the human genome, and there is increasing evidence that
some microsatellites can have important functions and can be conserved by selection. To …

Using our microsatellite specific genotyping method, we analyzed tandem repeats, which
are known to be highly variable with some recognized as biomarkers causative of disease …

Microsatellites (SSRs) are highly susceptible to expansions and contractions. When located
in a coding sequence, the insertion or the deletion of a single unit for a mono-, di-, tetra-, or …

Recently, increasingly more microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been
found and characterized within protein-coding genes and their untranslated regions (UTRs) …

Microsatellites are short tandem repeats of 1–6 nucleotide motifs, studied for their utility as
genome markers and in forensics. Recent evidence points to the role of microsatellites in …
