Microsatellite markers: an overview of the recent progress in plants (2011, background): “The dinucleotide repeats are most common in many species, but are much less frequent in coding region than in non-coding regions (Li et al. 2002; Wang et al. 1994).”
Microsatellite markers: what they mean and why they are so useful (2016, background): “…been reviewed in a number of articles over the past two decades, some of which are highlighted here: Jarne and Lagoda (1996); Schlötterer (1998); Li et al. (2002); Buschiazzo and Gemmell (2006); Oliveira et al. (2006); Sun et al. (2009); Guichoux et al. (2011); Gemayel et al. (2012); Senan et…”
INTRASPECIFIC GENETIC DIVERSITY IN THE MARINE COCCOLITHOPHORE EMILIANIA HUXLEYI (PRYMNESIOPHYCEAE): THE USE OF MICROSATELLITE ANALYSIS IN MARINE PHYTOPLANKTON POPULATION STUDIES 1 (2006, background): “…sequence motifs from mono- to hexa-nucleotides, e.g. (GT)n, (GTC)n, or (GTCA)n, that have high mutation rates via stepwise mechanisms (but see Li et al. 2002 for alternative models) to give multiple alternative length variants (alleles) at a given genetic site (locus) (Schlötterer and Tautz…”
Applying molecular-based approaches to classical biological control of weeds (2011, background): “The most common mutations are changes of a single repeat unit and the observed mutation rates range from 10 2 to 10 6 events per locus per generation (Li et al., 2002).”
Variable tandem repeats accelerate evolution of coding and regulatory sequences. (2010, background): “While many repeats are located within gene deserts, the availability of complete genome sequences and increased knowledge about genome biology indicate that TRs also often occur within coding and regulatory regions (Figure 3) (Table 1) (68, 71).”
Novel SSR Markers for Polymorphism Detection in Pigeonpea (Cajanus spp.) (2010, result): “Furthermore, longer repeats have been shown to display higher degrees of polymorphism in several earlier studies (Li et al. 2002).”
Characterization of European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cultivars using SSR markers (2009, background): “Valuable characteristics such as high polymorphism, co-dominance, sensitivity (even a small quantity of DNA can be amplified by PCR), transferability to related species and genera, reproducibility and ease of scoring have led to the extensive use of microsatellite markers for fingerprinting ( Li et ”
Microsatellites and their genomic distribution, evolution, function and applications : A review with special reference to fish genetics (2006, background): “This sequence is situated at the end of an amplicon and forms a loop, which serves as a stop signal for DNA polymerase (Li et al., 2002).”
Microsatellites for ecologists: a practical guide to using and evaluating microsatellite markers. (2006, background): “As a result of the widespread use of microsatellites, our understanding of their mutational behaviour, function, evolution and distribution in the genome and across taxa is increasing rapidly (Li et al. 2002; Ellegren 2004).”
Status and Prospects of Association Mapping in Plants (2008, background): “h e mutation rate per site per generation is several times lower than the SSR mutational rate per generation (Li et al., 2002; Vigouroux et al., 2002).”
OPERATIONAL CRITERIA FOR DELIMITING SPECIES (2004, background): “Both allozyme (Murphy et al. 1996) and microsatellite loci (Li et al. 2002, Estoup et al. 2002) can be characterized by allelic homoplasy between closely related species, which will introduce an unknown error into the use of either kind of data in FFR methods.”
Methods for Development of Microsatellite Markers: An Overview (2014, neutral): “Microsatellites are ubiquitous in the coding and noncoding regions (Tautz and Renz, 1984; Gupta et al., 1996; Toth et al., 2000) with a higher density of simple sequence motifs in the noncoding regions of eukaryotes (Hancock, 1995; Li et al., 2002).”
SSR and pedigree analyses of genetic diversity among CIMMYT wheat lines targeted to different megaenvironments (2004, background): “They can be developed from available EST datasome form of balancing selection (Innan et al., 1997; Libases and their frequency is abundantly high in tranet al., 2000; Li et al., 2002).scribed regions (Morgante et al., 2002).”
Development, characterization and utilization of microsatellite markers in pigeonpea (2007, background): “Theoretically, the number of repeats is correlated with the mutation rate (Li et al. 2002) meaning more recently evolved microsatellites would have fewer polymorphisms because of fewer occasions for mutations even if they have longer repeats (Budak et al.”
Markers, old and new, for examining Phytophthora infestans diversity (2004, background): “Slippage during DNA replication (Goldstein & Pollock, 1997; Li et al., 2002) results in periodic alteration of the repeat length, which is scored by accurate sizing of the PCR-amplified repeat and its immediate flanking sequence.”
