Advanced propulsion for microsatellites
Microsatellites have become increasingly popular in recent years as they offer significant cost savings, higher reliability, and are generally more affordable for a large variety of commercial applications. Since many microsatellite missions require considerable propulsion capabilities, …

An assessment of the mutation rate of human microsatellites
Örtungl samanstanda af 2-6 kirna endurteknum DNA röðum og eru með algengustu breytileikunum í erfðamengi mannsins. Skilningur á stökkbreytingar-mynstrum örtungla getur gefið okkur miklar upplýsingar um þróun mannsins og spilar því stórt hlutverk í stofnerfðafræði. Í þessari rannsókn reiknuðum við …

Genetic analysis of the sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) using microsatellites.
The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales (Odontoceti), and inhabits deep waters from equatorial to Polar Regions. Sperm whales are social and commonly l r . found in small groups. However, sociality varies according to sex and age. Immature males form bachelor groups that disperse as …

The use of microsatellites as a surrogate for quantitative trait variation in conservation
… a species’ genome. The assumption is made that microsatellites, which are neutral markers, behave in the same manner as quantitative traits. If this assumption were proved incorrect, then the use of neutral markers in conservation monitoring would have to be re-evaluated. In this study, …

Population genetics and phylogeography of bobcats (Lynx rufus) using microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA
Bobcats (<italic>Lynx rufus<italic>) are generalist carnivores with an expansive range from southern Canada to northern Mexico, in which 11 - 12 subspecies have been described. Since European settlement, bobcat habitat has become increasingly fragmented due to urbanization and development of …

Characterization of Polymorphic Microsatellites in Strawberry and Their Transferability to Other Genera in the Rosaceae Family
… Fragaria accessions using these polymorphic microsatellites. The average number of alleles amplified for a polymorphic locus was 4.7 with maximum being 8.0 and minimum being 3.0. Observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.00 to 0.84 with an average of 0.28. Expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.33 …

Genetic variation among Zulu sheep sub-populations of South Africa assessed by microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
… weight. The study used two molecular markers (microsatellites and mitochondrial DNA) to investigate the genetic diversity of Zulu sheep. In experiment 1, 26 microsatellite markers were used; (i) to confirm or disconfirm the structuration among eight Zulu sheep populations (Eshowe, Jozini, …

An investigation of the sociogenetic structure of the endemic fynbos ant, Camponotus klugii, via the use of microsatellites
Eusocial insects, in particular ants, demonstrate great variability in their sociogenetic structure with regards to colony organization, queen number, queen mating frequency, levels of relatedness and worker reproduction. Within this study I perform an analysis on two groups of ant nests of the …

Genetic variation within the Icelandic cattle breed: assessment using microsatellites and analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Leptin and DGAT1 genes
Sufficient genetic variation within domestic breeds is a crucial factor in all breeding work. It is a prerequisite for future breeding progress and is used in research and development of breeding methods at the molecular level. The present study estimates genetic variation within the Icelandic …

Assessment of genetic variations within and between populations of Marama Bean (Tylosema Esculentum (Burchell) Schreiber) based on Microsatellites (SSRS) and Intergenic spacer length variation markers in the Namibian germplasm
Tylosema esculentum (Burchell) L. Schreiber is a herbaceous perennial drought tolerant legume that is endemic to the arid and semi-arid zones of southern Africa. Its agronomic potential is on the basis of its seed's nutritional composition that is comparable with soybean and peanut, the two mostly …

The human molecular clock and mutation process : a characterization using microsatellite DNA
… on studying human evolution through the use of microsatellites, which are simple repetitive sections of DNA of typically 1-6bp motifs (e.g. CACACACACA) that are highly polymorphic and highly mutable. The first aim is to establish that microsatellites are useful as reliable molecular clocks, such …

Know Thy Cell-Free DNA: Early Detection of Microsatellite Instability Using Ultra-Low-Pass Cell-Free DNA Sequences
Microsatellites are short segments of repeated DNA motifs (i.e., base pair patterns) that are widespread in our genomes. Microsatellites are inherently more mutable than other genomic locations, and since cancer cells undergo many more cell divisions, microsatellites are useful for distinguishing …

Design and control of microsatellite clusters for tracking missions
… that could be accomplished using a cluster of microsatellites. This thesis addresses the design of microsatellite clusters to accurately track a target in a probabilistic suborbital occupancy corridor by pursuing the following: orbit determination using optimal measurement principles, cluster …
