Mining non-model genomic libraries for microsatellites: BAC versus EST libraries and the generation of allelic richness

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are tandemly repeated sequence motifs common in genomic nucleotide sequence that often harbor significant variation in repeat number. Frequently used as molecular markers, SSRs are increasingly identifi...
