Abstract excerpt
Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are usually regarded as the "markers of choice" in population genetics research because they exhibit high variability. The development cost of these markers is usually high. In addition, microsatellite primers developed for one species often do not cross-amplify in related species, requiring separate development for each species. However, microsatellites found...
