SSR

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Simple Sequence Repeats or microsatellites are tandemly repeated mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexa-nucleotide motifs. SSR length polymorphisms are caused by differences in the number of repeats. SSR loci are "individually amplified by PCR using pairs of oligonucleotide primers specific to unique DNA sequences flanking the SSR sequence". More about SSR inKashi Y, King D, Soller M. Trends Genet. 1997 Feb;13(2):74-8.
