Snpstr (original) (raw)

A SNPSTR is a compound genetic marker composed of one or more SNPs and one microsatellite (STR). Autosomal SNPSTRs, which contain an SNP and a microsatellite within 500 base pairs of one another, were discovered in 2002. More recently a database that contains all SNPSTRs in five model genomes, including human, has been created.
