Microsatellite STR Analysis
 Example of eighteen microsatellite loci co-electrophoresed in a single capillary Variable nucleotide tandem repeats (VNTRs) are repeating sequences of multi-base segments of DNA. If the repeat is equal to or less than 6 bases, NTRs are named microsatellites, also known as short tandem repeats (STRs). One common example of a microsatellite is a (CA)n repeat, where n varies between alleles. Because microsatellites are polymorphic DNA loci present throughout the genome, microsatellite genotyping is a widely accepted tool for a variety of research applications such as linkage mapping studies, association studies, and identification of organisms. Our five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, substantially improving the throughput. |
Step-by-Step Guide to Microsatellite STR Analysis
 DNA extraction is a critical first step in the experimental workflow of DNA Sequencing and Fragment analysis. The overall quality, accuracy and length of the DNA sequence read can be significantly affected by characteristics of the sample itself, and the method chosen for nucleic acid extraction. Ideal methods will vary depending on the source or tissue type, how it was obtained from its source, and how the sample was handled or stored prior to extraction.
