Abstract excerpt

Microsatellites are defined as tracts of tandemly repeated short DNA sequences. Polymorphisms in this class of DNA are currently being used to generate a genetic map of the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. In the present study we explore the potential of microsatellites as a tool for studying the gene...
