A cautionary tale: Lack of consistency in allele sizes between two laboratories for a published multilocus microsatellite typing system.

Abstract excerpt

For species with low genetic diversity, typing using the differences in PCR fragment length resulting from variations in numbers of short tandem repeats has been shown to provide a high level of discrimination. This technique has been called multilocus microsatellite typing (MLMT) or multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis, and studies usually employ genetic or sequence analyzers to size PCR...
