This technique is based on the amplification of short DNA sequences composed of repeating units of a few nucleotides. Because of their polymorphism, microsatellite markers can be used to study genetic diversity within a species or population<\/strong>. GenoScreen has developed almost 20 years of expertise in the study and analysis of microsatellites<\/strong>, enabling the development of markers for more than 500 species. <\/p>\n\n

When should microsatellite genotyping be used?<\/h2>\n\n

Microsatellite genotyping is particularly useful for studying genetic diversity<\/strong> and understanding the structure of populations<\/strong>, particularly in the context of biodiversity conservation<\/strong> or reproduction monitoring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Use of existing data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As microsatellite markers are molecular reference tools<\/strong>, there are many publications and previous works available today that we can draw on to meet your needs. We can also use existing data on closely related species (cross-amplification<\/strong>) or from high-throughput sequencing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Whenever markers are already available for your species of interest, we can use the amplification conditions developed or develop new ones<\/strong> to, for example, group together markers from different publications or use only some of them. There are several possible scenarios: <\/p>\n\n\n
