Few genetic markers, if any, have found such widespread use as microsatellites, or
simple/short tandem repeats. Features such as hypervariability and ubiquitous occurrence …

Microsatellites, or tandem simple sequence repeats (SSR), are abundant across genomes
and show high levels of polymorphism. SSR genetic and evolutionary mechanisms remain …

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

Repeated elements can be widely abundant in eukaryotic genomes, composing more than
50% of the human genome, for example. It is possible to classify repeated sequences into …

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 are a ubiquitous class of simple repetitive DNA sequences, which are
widespread in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes. The use of microsatellites as …

Nostoc punctiforme is a filamentous cyanobacterium with extensive phenotypic
characteristics and a relatively large genome, approaching 10 Mb. The phenotypic …

Currently, genetic ty** of microorganisms is widely used in several major fields of
microbiological research. Taxonomy, research aimed at elucidation of evolutionary …

Computer-based genome-wide screening of the DNA sequence of Escherichia coli strain
K12 revealed tens of thousands of tandem simple sequence repeat (SSR) tracts, with motifs …

A fundamental observation across eukaryotic taxa is that mitochondrial genomes have a
higher load of deleterious mutations than nuclear genomes. Identifying the evolutionary …
