Large-scale analysis reveals that the genome features of simple sequence repeats are generally conserved at the family level in insects
Abstract Background Simple sequence repeats (SSR), also called microsatellites, have been widely used as genetic markers, and have been extensively studied in some model insects. At present, the genomes of more than 100 insect species are available. However, the features of SSRs in most insect genom...
