SSRs3
  • 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)
Genome3
  • 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)
Motif sequence1
  • 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)
Motifs4
  • 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)
  • 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)
  • 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)
