The rise, fall and renaissance of microsatellites in eukaryotic genomes.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Oct 2006

Buschiazzo Emmanuel, Gemmell Neil J

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are among the most versatile of genetic markers, being used in an impressive number of biological applications. However, the evolutionary dynamics of these markers remain a source of contention. Almost 20 years after the discovery of these ubiquitous simple sequences, new genomic data are clarifying our understanding of the structure, distribution and variability of microsatellites in genomes,...
