Simple sequence repeat (SSR), also called microsatellites, are tandem repeated nucleotide sequences ranging from 2 to 6 base pair in length that vary in repeat motifs and are flanked by conserved DNA sequences. These SSR markers are more polymorphic due to high mutation rate affecting these repeating units. Due to codominant nature, stability, abundancy, sensitivity, suitability for automation and flexibility microsatellite is one of the suitable markers for genome analysis.
