Abstract: | A sequencing strategy is described for the rapid recovery of DNA sequences flanking repeat sequences of microsatellites in plant nuclear genomes. Primers that represent a perfect microsatellite repeat and end in a 3′ degenerate base have been used to sequence directly from microsatellite repeats in one direction. The procedure allows the design of one flanking primer that is then used to sequence back through the repeat to define the microsatellite site precisely and also provides for the design of the second flanking primer. The strategy is versatile with various repeat sizes and different categories of microsatellites; perfect, imperfect, and compound were found to be suitable templates for analysis. |
