What are Microsatellites?

Microsatellite or Simple sequence repeat (SSR) are tandem repeated nucleotide sequences ranging from 1-6 base pair long that very in repeat motifs and are flanked by conserved DNA sequences. Due to codominant nature, stability, abundancy, sensitivity, suitability for automation and its flexibility, microsatellite is considered to be one of the most suitable marker for genome analysis.
