Chloroplast microsatellites: measures of genetic diversity and the effect of homoplasy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Chloroplast microsatellites have been widely used in population genetic studies of conifers in recent years. However, their haplotype configurations suggest that they could have high levels of homoplasy, thus limiting the power of these molecular markers.

MICROSATELLITE EVOLUTION IN VERTEBRATES: INFERENCE FROM AC DINUCLEOTIDE REPEATS [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 2001
We analyze published data from 592 AC microsatellite loci from 98 species in five vertebrate classes including fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. We use these data to address nine major questions about microsatellite evolution. First, we find that larger genomes do not have more microsatellite loci and therefore reject the hypothesis that ...

RUNX1/SLAMF3 Axis Drives Immunosuppression to Contribute to Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis by Blocking Phagocytosis and Depleting C1QC+ Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the RUNX1/SLAMF3 axis as a key driver of colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM). SLAMF3 suppresses macrophage phagocytosis and depletes C1QC⁺ tumor‐associated macrophages, promoting an immunosuppressive microenvironment. Targeting this axis restores macrophage and CD8⁺ T cell activity and reduces metastasis.

Distribution of Polymorphic and Non-Polymorphic Microsatellite Repeats in

open access: yesBioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2008
The results of our bioinformatics analysis have found over 91,000 di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide microsatellites in our survey of 25% of the X. tropicalis genome, suggesting there may be over 360,000 within the entire genome. Within the X.

Rapid microsatellite isolation from a butterfly by de novo transcriptome sequencing: performance and a comparison with AFLP-derived distances. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The isolation of microsatellite markers remains laborious and expensive. For some taxa, such as Lepidoptera, development of microsatellite markers has been particularly difficult, as many markers appear to be located in repetitive DNA and ...

Microsatellite markers in Spanish lime (Melicoccus bijugatus Jacq., Sapindaceae), a neglected Neotropical fruit crop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Spanish lime (Melicoccus bijugatus Jacq.) is aNeotropical fruit tree cultivated, mainly, in orchards for self-consumption or local sale. The genus Melicoccus includes other nine species with edible fruits, some of these species are at risk of extinction.

Isolation and characterization of 8 microsatellite loci for the ‘‘killer shrimp’’, an invasive Ponto-Caspian amphipod Dikerogammarus villosus (Crustacea: Amphipoda) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dikerogammarus villosus is a freshwater amphipod of the Ponto-Caspian origin recognized as one of the 100 worst alien species in Europe, having negative impact on biodiversity and functioning of the invaded aquatic ecosystems.

Clonal reproduction as a driver of liana proliferation following large‐scale disturbances in temperate forests

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Large‐scale disturbances significantly impact forest dynamics, structure, and biodiversity. Lianas proliferate rapidly after such events, likely through clonal reproduction. Understanding this process is challenging because it requires precise disturbance history and accurate estimation of whether individuals originated from clonal ...

Genome-wide mapping and characterization of microsatellites in the swamp eel genome

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
We described genome-wide screening and characterization of microsatellites in the swamp eel genome. A total of 99,293 microsatellite loci were identified in the genome with an overall density of 179 microsatellites per megabase of genomic sequences.
