The Application of Microsatellite Markers as Molecular Tools for Studying Genomic Variability in Vertebrate Populations
Journal: Current Issues in Molecular Biology
Year: 2025

Vertebrate molecular genetic research methods typically employ single genetic loci (monolocus markers) and those involving a variable number of loci (multilocus markers). The former often employ microsatellites that ensure accuracy in establishing inbreeding, tracking pan-generational dynamics of genetic parameters, assessing genetic purity, and facilitating genotype/phenotype correlations. They also enable the determination and identification of unique alleles by studying and managing marker-as
