Microsatellites are truly dynamic sequences, since their molecular structures change over time, driven by multiple evolutionary processes.
Both the DMPK and CNBP genes are broadly expressed and microsatellite C(C TG expansions are dynamic, tend to increase with age and show a high degree of somatic mosaicism (Higham et al, 2012; Morales et al, 2012).
Repetitive DNA sequences are dynamic components of the genome encompassing transposable elements, major satellites, minisatellites and microsatellites [ 8, 9].
Their histories are dynamic.
Group histories are dynamic.
A defining characteristic of microsatellites is their dynamic mutational behavior and high level of germline polymorphism among individuals (Ellegren 2004).
Computationally, we used an assumption that, as a reflection of dynamic mutational activity, microsatellites are expected to exhibit significantly higher prevalence of intraspecific polymorphism than nonmicrosatellite repeat loci in the genome.
Microsatellites are currently being used for a number of applications, particularly Earth-based imaging satellites.
