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

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are a group of repetitive DNA sequences that represent a
significant portion of higher eukaryote genomes. They can serve as highly informative …

Simple sequence repeats (SSR), or microsatellites, are ubiquitous in eukaryotic genomes.
Here we demonstrate the utility of microsatellite-directed DNA fingerprinting by polymerase …

Hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell) is one of the world's most important
crop plants and displays a very low level of intraspecific polymorphism. We report the …

We examined the abundance of microsatellites with repeated unit lengths of 1–6 base pairs
in several eukaryotic taxonomic groups: primates, rodents, other mammals, nonmammalian …

In recent years, a variety of molecular markers, based on microsatellites or simple sequence
repeats (SSRs) have become the markers of choice, thus necessitating their development …

Microsatellites are a ubiquitous class of simple repetitive DNA sequence. An excess of such
repetitive tracts has been described in all eukaryotes analyzed and is thought to result from …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Over the last few decades, the use of molecular markers has played an increasing role in
rice breeding and genetics. Of the different types of molecular markers, microsatellites have …

Microsatellites are simple, tandemly repeated di-to tetra-nucleotide sequence motifs flanked
by unique sequences. They are valuable as genetic markers because they are co-dominant …
