This program enables to search for a microsatellite sequence comprising of a motif of particular repeats from the database based on the selected parameters.
Three types of microsatellite repeats are found in a sequence:
- Simple repeats contains only one type of repeats.
e.g. Sequence: .....GTACGCCGTA(GC)15GTCATGCCGA.....
- Composite repeats contains combination of two or more type of repeats.
e.g. Sequence: .....GTACGCCGTA(GT)10(CT)5(CA)6GTCATGCCGA.....
- Complex repeats contains more than one type of repeats at different sites.
e.g. Sequence: .....GTACGCCGTA(GT)10AGTCGGCCGTAGCT(CTGT)5TGAGCCGTAGAAGCC(CAGTA)3GTCATGCCGA.....
