| We assumed that sampled individuals were genotyped at a series of unlinked microsatellite loci. |
| Similarly, in astrocytic tumors, microsatellite instability is not associated with progression. |
| Defects in mismatch repair genes lead to variations in the length of microsatellites, known as microsatellite instability. |
| There are also two dinucleotide microsatellites and one mononucleotide microsatellite, all in the first intron. |
| Twenty-six linkage groups were identified and synteny of duplicated microsatellite markers was used to confirm 13 homeologous chromosome pairs. |
| A total of 34 microsatellite primers, polymorphic in their respective species, were selected in this study. |
