Abstract
Genetic variation in microsatellites is rarely examined in the field of ancient DNA (aDNA) due to the low quantity of nuclear DNA in the fossil record together with the lack of characterized nuclea... Mining Many More Microsatellite Markers Microsatellite sequences consist of 1–6 nucleotide tandem repeats and are found in nearly all known organisms. Because they mutate at a high rate and are inh...Keywords
