microsateliți  

Definition

  • Information Microsatellites: segments of DNA characterized by a variable number of copies (typically 5 to 50) of sequence motifs of around two to five bases (referred to as a repeat unit). At any one locus (site in the genome), there are usually several different “alleles” in a population, each allele identifiable by the number of repeat units detected via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Many microsatellites have a large degree of polymorphism.
