Microsatellites are often referred to as short tandem repeats (STRs) by forensic geneticists and in genetic genealogy, or as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) by plant geneticists. (wikipedia.org)
The SSRs were categorized for the numbers of repeats present, their overall length and were allocated to their linkage group. (researchgate.net)
A total of 4,761 perfect and 6,583 imperfect SSRs were present in 3,781 genes (14.11% of the total), corresponding to an overall density across the gene space of 32,5 and 44,9 SSRs/Mbp for perfect and imperfect motifs, respectively. (researchgate.net)
We report these two new plastid genome sequences and make comparisons (within angiosperms, seed plants, or all photosynthetic lineages) to evaluate features such as the status of ycf15 and ycf68 as protein coding genes, the distribution of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and longer dispersed repeats (SDR), and patterns of nucleotide composition. (biomedcentral.com)
In broader comparisons, SSRs vary among genomes in terms of abundance and length and most contain repeat motifs based on A and T nucleotides. (biomedcentral.com)
SSRs occur less frequently than predicted and, although the majority of the repeat motifs do include A and T nucleotides, the A+T bias in SSRs is less than that predicted from the underlying genomic nucleotide composition. (biomedcentral.com)
Loci3
Thus, the mutation rate at microsatellite loci is expected to differ from other mutation rates, such as base substitution rates. (wikipedia.org)
The mutation rate at microsatellite loci depends on the repeat motif sequence, the number of repeated motif units and the purity of the canonical repeated sequence. (wikipedia.org)
The final consensus maps are based on 1578 microsatellite loci and these maps have a cumulative length of approximately 1400 cM after adjustment for recombination frequencies of RI strains. (nervenet.org)
Tandemly repeated1
1992). A microsatellite is a tract of tandemly repeated (i.e. adjacent) DNA motifs that range in length from one to six or up to ten nucleotides (the exact definition and delineation to the longer minisatellites varies from author to author), and are typically repeated 5-50 times. (wikipedia.org)
Nucleotide1
citation needed] Unlike point mutations, which affect only a single nucleotide, microsatellite mutations lead to the gain or loss of an entire repeat unit, and sometimes two or more repeats simultaneously. (wikipedia.org)

Genome4
Microsatellites occur at thousands of locations within an organism's genome. (wikipedia.org)
Microsatellites are distributed throughout the genome. (wikipedia.org)
The human genome for example contains 50,000-100,000 dinucleotide microsatellites, and lesser numbers of tri-, tetra- and pentanucleotide microsatellites. (wikipedia.org)
In the majority of angiosperm chloroplast genomes two copies of a large inverted repeat (IR) of about 25 kb separate the remainder of the genome into two regions of unique DNA, the large (about 90 kb) and small (about 20 kb) single copy regions (LSC and SSC, respectively). (biomedcentral.com)
Huntington's2
Other microsatellites are located in regulatory flanking or intronic regions of genes, or directly in codons of genes - microsatellite mutations in such cases can lead to phenotypic changes and diseases, notably in triplet expansion diseases such as fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease.

Alleles3
One individual was found to carry a 12 kb deletion in one copy of the ASPA gene on 17p13, which when mutated in both alleles leads to Canavan disease. (biomedcentral.com)
Intermediate alleles (IAs) show 27 to 35 CAG repeats and expanded alleles have more than 35 repeats. (geneticsmr.com)

The Nuphar [GenBank:NC_008788] and Ranunculus [GenBank:NC_008796] plastid genomes share characteristics of gene content and organization with many other chloroplast genomes. (biomedcentral.com)
Like other plastid genomes, these genomes are A+T-rich, except for rRNA and tRNA genes. (biomedcentral.com)
Motifs3
A microsatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs (ranging in length from one to six or more base pairs) are repeated, typically 5-50 times. (wikipedia.org)
Repeat units of four and five nucleotides are referred to as tetra- and pentanucleotide motifs, respectively. (wikipedia.org)
Similarly, insects have shorter repeat motifs in their telomeres that could arguably be considered microsatellites. (wikipedia.org)
Genetic diversity1
Molecular markers are important for estimating genetic diversity in germplasm and between genotypes in breeding programs. (geneticsmr.com)
Markers5
The increasing availability of DNA amplification by PCR at the beginning of the 1990s triggered a large number of studies using the amplification of microsatellites as genetic markers for forensic medicine, for paternity testing, and for positional cloning to find the gene underlying a trait or disease.
