Isolation and identification of a new set of microsatellite loci from Ucides cordatus genome [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015
A new set of microsatellite loci (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) from the overexploited mangrove crab Ucides cordatus is described in this study. Microsatellite isolation used a highly simplified and inexpensive protocol based on (i) multiple ...

Compound Microsatellite Repeats: Practical and Theoretical Features [PDF]

Genome Research, 1999
Most linkage and population genetic studies that use microsatellites assume that the polymorphism observed at these loci is due simply to variation in the number of units of a single repeat. Variation is far more complex, however, for the numerous microsatellites that contain interruptions within the repeat or contain more than one type of repeat.

Sequence determinants of human microsatellite variability

BMC Genomics, 2009
Background Microsatellite loci are frequently used in genomic studies of DNA sequence repeats and in population studies of genetic variability. To investigate the effect of sequence properties of microsatellites on their level of variability we have ...

RNA Helicases in Microsatellite Repeat Expansion Disorders and Neurodegeneration

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Short repeated sequences of 3−6 nucleotides are causing a growing number of over 50 microsatellite expansion disorders, which mainly present with neurodegenerative features. Although considered rare diseases in relation to the relatively low number of cases, these primarily adult-onset conditions, often debilitating and fatal in absence of a cure ...

Isolation and characterization of microsatellites in the lichen Buellia frigida (Physciaceae), an Antarctic endemic [PDF]

, 2012
Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were characterized for an Antarctic endemic, Buellia frigida, to investigate population structure and origin of Antarctic lichens. Methods and Results: Five primer sets were characterized.

Characterization of Alu Repeats That Are Associated with Trinucleotide and Tetranucleotide Repeat Microsatellites [PDF]

Genome Research, 1997
The association of subclasses of Alu repetitive elements with various classes of trinucleotide and tetranucleotide microsatellites was characterized as a first step toward advancing our understanding of the evolution of microsatellite repeats. In addition, information regarding the association of specific classes of microsatellites with families of Alu

Analyses of carnivore microsatellites and their intimate association with tRNA-derived SINEs

BMC Genomics, 2006
Background The popularity of microsatellites has greatly increased in the last decade on account of their many applications. However, little is currently understood about the factors that influence their genesis and distribution among and within species ...

Frameshift mutations at coding mononucleotide repeat microsatellites in endometrial carcinoma with microsatellite instability [PDF]

Cancer, 2000
Microsatellite instability (MI) is a frequent occurrence in endometrioid carcinoma of the endometrium (EC). Several genes known to contain mononucleotide short tracts in their coding sequences (TGF-beta RII, IGFIIR, BAX, hMSH6, and hMSH3) are likely targets for mutations in these tumors.DNA from 24 patients with EC and MI was extracted from blood and ...
