Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2002

Li You-Chun, Korol Abraham B, Fahima Tzion, Beiles Avigdor, Nevo Eviatar

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites, or tandem simple sequence repeats (SSR), are abundant across genomes and show high levels of polymorphism. SSR genetic and evolutionary mechanisms remain controversial. Here we attempt to summarize the available data related to SSR distribution in coding and noncoding regions of genomes and SSR functional importance. Numerous lines of evidence demonstrate that SSR genomic distribution is...
