• Genetic variation and effective population size in isolated populations of coastal cutthroat trout (2010, background): “Mutation rate estimates for microsatellites have a large degree of uncertainty (Ellegren 2004) but the typical range observed by most studies to date has been 1 9 10–1 9 10 (Jones et al.”
• The linkage disequilibrium and the selection of genetic markers for association studies in European populations (2007, background): “With the advent of PCR in the late 1980s, the genotyping of STRs became straightforward and they became the markers of choice for genome mapping (Ellegren 2004).”

• SSR-based linkage map of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and mapping of QTLs underlying fatty acid composition traits (2011, background): “Microsatellites are simple sequence repeats (SSRs), characterized by their ubiquitous presence in plant genomes and hypervariability in their structure caused by the number of repeats (Ellegren 2004).”
• Continental‐scale assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) (2013, background): “Testing specific hypotheses about glacial refugia within the northern cluster is likely to require finer-scale sampling of populations and the use of nuclear and/or organellar sequence data, which can be more reliably ordered into an evolutionary sequence than microsatellites (Ellegren, 2004).”
• Methods for Development of Microsatellite Markers: An Overview (2014, positive): “The potential cause is poor primer annealing caused by nucleotide sequence divergence, inconsistent DNA template quality or low template quantity (Ellegren, 2004) or mutations /indels in the primer binding sites (Pemberton et al., 1995).”
