What is Microsatellite?

A microsatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs are repeated, typically 5-50 times. Microsatellites occur at thousands of locations within an organism's genome.
Microsatellite, as related to genomics, refers to a short segment of DNA, usually one to six or more base pairs in length, that is repeated multiple times in succession at a particular genomic location. These DNA sequences are typically non-coding. The number of repeated segments within a microsatellite sequence often varies among people, which makes them useful as polymorphic markers for studying inheritance patterns in families or for creating a DNA fingerprint from crime scene samples.

Wow. I enjoy, simple and informative but can you please put subtitle. It hard for me to understand on slang. Btw, thank you

[@mariakara4848]

amazing thnx for these useful videos🌹

[@GeneticsLessons]

Glad you like them!

[@taladiv3415]

Thank you for your explanation sir.

Sir please
Made a video on PIC (polymorphism information content) & its estimation.
Thanking you in anticipation

[@GeneticsLessons]

Do you have particular problem?

Sir i need to clear the concept of PIC (polymorphism information concept)

[@gabiberches72]

What your saying is to find a criminal through dna is not that easy ??

[@GeneticsLessons]

I did not say so, if criminal's profile in a database it is a matter of seconds.
