Microsatellite Markers in Plants and Insects. Part I: Applications of Biotechnology (2009, background): “They are PCR-driven, codominant, abundant (representing ~3% of the human genome DNA), relatively evenly distributed throughout the euchromatic part of genomes (Ellegren 2004; Schlotterer 2004), economic, robust, and reproducible (Weber and May 1989; Schuelke 2000).”
Stacks 2: Analytical Methods for Paired-end Sequencing Improve RADseq-based Population Genomics (2019, background): “…1998), microarrays (Miller, Dunham, Amores, Cresko, & Johnson, 2007), and most recently, massively parallel, short‐read sequencing to yield great insights into model and non‐model organ‐ isms, laboratory and natural populations (Narum, Buerkle, Davey, Miller, & Hohenlohe, 2013; Schlötterer, 2004).”
Molecular markers: It’s application in crop improvement (2009, methodology): “DNA-based molecular markers are a versatile tool in the fields of taxonomy, physiology, embryology, genetic engineering, etc. (Schlotterer 2004).”
Automated binning of microsatellite alleles: problems and solutions (2006, background): “Despite increasing interest in single nucleotide polymorphisms, microsatellites remain arguably the most important class of markers for use in population genetic studies (Schlotterer 2004).”
Walnut: past and future of genetic improvement (2018, methodology): “The emergence of DNA manipulation techniques drove the shift from enzyme-based to DNA-based markers in the early 1990s (Schlötterer 2004).”

Estimating effective population size from linkage disequilibrium: severe bias in small samples (2006, positive): “The ease of development of hypervariable, codominant, population genetic markers is improving rapidly (Sunnucks 2000; Schlotterer 2004) to the point where highly precise and accurate estimates from the linkage disequilibrium method may soon be possible in many species.”
Microsatellites for ecologists: a practical guide to using and evaluating microsatellite markers. (2006, background): “A comprehensive review of different marker types is provi- ded elsewhere (Avise 1994; Sunnucks 2000; Zhang & Hewitt 2003; Schlötterer 2004) and is beyond the scope of this study.”
Potential of molecular markers in plant biotechnology. (2009, background): “PCR was a major breakthrough for molecular markers in that for the first time, any genomic region could be amplified and analyzed in many individuals without the requirement for cloning and isolating large amounts of ultra-pure genomic DNA (Schlötterer 2004).”
