The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Tomato SNP Discovery by EST Mining and Resequencing (2005, background): “At the interspecific level, highly emphasized in tomato breeding, SNPs will exhibit less homoplasy than markers based on fragment-size (Hillis et al. 1996; Alvarez et al. 2001).”
Plant genetic resources: Advancing conservation and use through biotechnology (2003, background): “In Lycopersicon, microsatellites analysis revealed high level of polymorphism within and among species, which was highly correlated with the respective mating systems, cross-pollinating species having a significantly higher gene diversity compared to self-pollinating species (Alvarez et al., 2001).”
Conservation of plant genetic resources by cryopreservation. (2011, background): “Microsatellites analysis demonstrated high level of polymorphism within and among Lycopersicon, which was correlated with crosspollinating (Alvarez et al., 2001).”
Non-coding nuclear DNA markers in phylogenetic reconstruction (2009, background): “Usually high levels of polymorphism and a large number of unique alleles for the accessions were found using microsatellite repeat numbers (Álvarez et al. 2001; Zwettler et al. 2002; Tang and Knapp 2003).”
