Abstract excerpt

Short mononucleotide repeats analogous to nuclear microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been identified in chloroplast genomes. Primers flanking mononucleotide repeats in the fully sequenced rice chloroplast genome have been used in conjunction with PCR to amplify genomic DNA fro...
