are reshaping the field of molecular ecology. However, many modern genomic approaches …

Microsatellite markers have played a major role in ecological, evolutionary and conservation
research during the past 20 years. However, technical constrains related to the use of …

The olfactory receptor (OR) gene families, which govern mammalian olfaction, have
undergone extensive expansion and contraction through duplication and pseudogenization …

Microsatellites play an important role when investigating population and ecological genetics,
although high effort in development and genotyping constitute a technical constraint and …

Microsatellites (or simple sequence repeats, SSR) are widely used markers in population

Background The need for enhancing the productivity of fisheries in Africa triggered the
introduction of non-native fish, causing dramatic changes to local species. In East Africa, the …

Marine metapopulations often exhibit subtle population structure that can be difficult to
detect. Given recent advances in high‐throughput sequencing, an emerging question is …

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is fundamental for plant breeding programs, as it can
identify desirable seedlings at a young stage and reduce the cost, time and space needed …

By applying second‐generation sequencing technologies to microsatellite genotyping,
sequence information is produced which can result in high‐resolution population genetics …
