Premise Of The Study: The nucleotide variation at a microsatellite locus lacking length polymorphisms among its alleles was assessed to generate an informative tool for genetic analysis.
Methods And Results: From a set of microsatellite markers, a monomorphic microsatellite locus developed for the palm species Butia eriospatha was used to elucidate whether there are polymorphic sites in its flanking regions. DNA sequences ≈133 bp long were obtained. Aligned sequences show variation at 17 polymorphic sites with both insertions and nucleotide substitutions. Fourteen distinct sequences (alleles) among 22 individuals were identified. The percent sequence difference varied from 0.0 to 5%, indicating that there is significant variation among sequences.
Conclusions: Due to significant levels of information and sequence diversity on a simple sequence repeat (SSR) locus of identical size, our study highlights that this molecular marker class can be a useful tool for population genetics and evolutionary studies for many plant species.

The human neuron-specific gene, GPM6B (Glycoprotein membrane 6B), is considered a key gene in neural cell functionality. This gene contains an exceptionally long and strictly monomorphic short tandem repeat (STR) of 9-repeats, (GA)9. STRs in regulatory regions, may impact on the expression of nearby genes.

Article Synopsis
- Louse flies are blood-feeding ectoparasites that significantly affect wild and farm animals by transmitting pathogens.
- Despite their ecological importance, research on their host-parasite dynamics and genetic tools is lacking, particularly for those that travel with migratory birds.
- This study developed molecular tools for the louse fly species Ornithomya avicularia, identifying 26 microsatellite markers to enhance understanding of their population structure and ecology.

Background: Microsatellites are important markers for livestock including ducks. The development of microsatellites is expensive and labor-intensive. Meanwhile, the in silico approach for mining for microsatellites became a practicable alternative.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists used different doses of ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) to induce genetic changes in super basmati rice seeds to create diversity.
- They analyzed 48 mutants using 25 SSR (simple sequence repeat) primers, discovering a high level of genetic variability, with 91 total alleles identified, 82 of which were polymorphic.
- The study concluded that EMS successfully induced genetic variability, and certain SSR markers could be useful for selecting rice mutants for breeding programs.
