Patterns of microsatellite distribution across eukaryotic genomes
Abstract Background Microsatellites, or Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), are short tandem repeats of 1–6 nt motifs present in all genomes. Emerging evidence points to their role in cellular processes and gene regulation. Despite the huge resource of genomic information currently available, SSRs have...
