DEFINITION:
A microsatellite consists of a specific sequence of DNA bases or nucleotides which contains mono, di, tri, or tetra tandem repeats. For example,
AAAAAAAAAAA would be referred to as (A)11
GTGTGTGTGTGT would be referred to as (GT)6
CTGCTGCTGCTG would be referred to as (CTG)4
ACTCACTCACTCACTC would be referred to as (ACTC)4
In the literature they can also be called simple sequence repeats (SSR), short tandem repeats (STR), or variable number tandem repeats (VNTR). Alleles at a specific location (locus) can differ in the number of repeats. Microsastellites are inherited in a Mendelian fashion.
But, Cybergenetics is not in competition with DNAPrint. In fact, if we ever achieve Forensic Lab Accreditation and begin doing STR testing we might also be in a position, at some point, to license their technology.
Hope this helps,
