Development and multiplexing of microsatellite markers using pyrosequencing in the clonal plant Comarum palustre (Rosaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites represent one of the most commonly used genetic markers for population genetic studies. Traditionally, their development is quite time consuming, requiring construction of a genomic library enriched for repeated motifs. Using pyrosequencing, a fast and cost-effective new generation sequencing technique, we produced 24,340,862 bases in 63,860 short fragment reads, including 1170 dinucleotide motifs...
