Detection of highly polymorphic microsatellite loci in a species with little allozyme polymorphism.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 1993

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite loci are regions of DNA containing tandem repeats of a short sequence motif; they occur abundantly in all eukaryotic genomes and have been shown to be a rich source of highly polymorphic genetic markers in humans and other mammals. These loci are particularly suitable for populatio...
