• Microsatellites for ecologists: a practical guide to using and evaluating microsatellite markers. (2006, background): “Several more specialized reviews on microsatellites that we recommend as a start are Estoup & Angers (1998), Chambers & MacAvoy (2000), Schlötterer (2000), Sunnucks (2000) and many of the chapters in Goldstein & Schlötterer (1999).”
• Phylogeography of New Zealand's coastal benthos (2009, background): “Although often thought to be neutral (Schlotterer 2000), microsatellite loci may be under selection themselves or linked to DNA that is under selection (sensu Wright & Andolfatto 2008).”
• Variation of DNA fingerprints among accessions within maize inbred lines and implications for identification of essentially derived varieties. (2002, background): “The mutation rate of SSRs was found to be dependent on the repeat type, the repeat number, and the sequence of the repeat motif or the flanking sequence (Schloetterer 2000).”
• INVITED REVIEW: Using genome scans of DNA polymorphism to infer adaptive population divergence (2005, neutral): “By contrast, in Drosophila, mutation rates for microsatellite loci and nucleotide sites are quite similar (Schug et al. 1997; Schlötterer 2000), suggesting that the two classes of marker may be informative over similar timescales.”
• SciRoKo: a new tool for whole genome microsatellite search and investigation (2007, background): “Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are known for more than 20 years, but their evolution is still not fully understood [for reviews see: Buschiazzo and Gemmell (2006); Ellegren (2004); Schlo¨tterer (2000)].”
• Microsatellite Markers in Plants and Insects. Part I: Applications of Biotechnology (2009, methodology): “Microsatellites as DNA markers have been widely used in many living organisms including E. coli (Gur-Arie et al. 2000; Schlotterer 2000), humans (Beckmann and Soller 1990), mice (Love et al. 1990), cows and sheep (Moore et al. 1991), plants (Condit and Hubbell 1991), and insects (Hughes and Queller…”
• The evolution of molecular markers — just a matter of fashion? (2004, background): “Microsatellites gain and lose repeat units by DNA-replication slippage, a mutation mechanism that is specific to tandemly repeated sequence”
• Detecting bottlenecks using BOTTLENECK 1.2.02 in wild populations: the importance of the microsatellite structure (2010, background): “Perfect repeat microsatellites are more prone to slippage (Schlötterer 2000), whereas the interrupted repeat microsatellites are more conservative (Weber 1990).”
• Microsatellites and their genomic distribution, evolution, function and applications : A review with special reference to fish genetics (2006, background): “Compared with allozyme markers, microsatellites exhibit higher levels of polymorphism and abundance in genomic DNA (Schlötterer, 2000).”
• Microsatellites: genomic distribution, putative functions and mutational mechanisms: a review (2002, background): “Although the mutation process seems to display distinct differences among species, repeat types, loci and alleles, age and sex (Brock et al. 1999; Hancock 1999; Ellegren 2000; Schlötterer 2000), the instability is predominantly manifested as changes in the number of SSR repeats.”
• Metapopulation genetic structure and migration pathways in the land snail Helix aspersa: influence of landscape heterogeneity (2003, background): “…frequencies and difference in allele size, whereas DZ is a pure SMM-based distance based on the between-locus correlation in the mean repeat scores and accounting for constraints in allele size (for detailed comments on microsatellites evolution, see Estoup and Cornuet 1999; Schlötterer 2000).”
• Analysis of Genes and Genomes (2004, background): “The repeats are thought to be generated by polymerase ‘slippage’ during replication (Schlötterer, 2000).”
• Origin, evolution and genome distribution of microsatellites (2006, background): “…number of studies covering the most varied areas of genetics, the mutational dynamics of these genomic regions is still not well understood (Schlötterer, 2000), although it is known that the mutation rate of microsatellites is much higher than that of other parts of the genome, ranging…”
• Homoplasy and mutation model at microsatellite loci and their consequences for population genetics analysis (2002, background): “Most studies indicate that the TPM or the GSM are the most realistic mutation model among those defined above for microsatellite loci (reviewed in Estoup & Cornuet 1999; Ellegren 2000a; Schlötterer 2000).”
