Pattern and variation in simple sequence repeat (SSR) at different genomic regions and its implications to maize evolution and breeding
Abstract Background Repetitive DNA sequences accounts for over 80% of maize genome. Although simple sequence repeats (SSRs) account for only 0.03% of the genome, they have been widely used in maize genetic research and breeding as highly informative codominant DNA markers. The genome-wide distributi...
