MICROSATELLITE MARKERS: A BREAKTHROUGH IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Repetitive sequences of DNA have explored a large amount of genetic data within the living organism. By the help of these repetitive sequences of DNA it is easy to study the genetic diversity within the organisms. Molecular Markers are the powerful tools for analysis of genetic biodiversity. Microsatellites are Simple Sequence Repeats of 1-6 nucleotides. Microsatellites are abundant throughout the genome and show high level of polymorphism. They are found to have a great potential to provide genetic information within an organism, diagnosis of disease of genetic origin and in evolutionary studies. In this review we tried to summarize the every aspect of microsatellites including features, application and drawbacks.
