There are so many #microsatellites going into low Earth orbit that they're becoming debris for #airlines to worry about.

Spontaneous single-nucleotide substitutions and microsatellite mutations have distinct distributions of fitness effects
The fitness effects of new mutations determine key properties of evolutionary processes. This study uses image-based growth measurements of budding yeast and statistical modeling to show that most new mutations are weakly deleterious, and distinguish the distributions of effects caused by single-nucleotide substitutions from those caused by microsatellite mutations.

Ancient Adélie penguin DNA reveals that small repeats persist for hundreds of millions of years
Microsatellites are valuable tools for studying inheritance, genetic diversity, and population dynamics across a wide range of organisms including bacteria, plants, animals, and fungi. These short, repeating sequence motifs are a common feature of both coding and non-coding DNA and have been observed in all genomes studied to date.

Spaceflight 🚀#Astranis was founded in 📆 2015 to determine whether #microsatellites 🛰️ built largely in-house could deliver high-speed #Internet from #geostationary space at a low price 💵. Given that this was an effort to test this technology on a #shoestring budget, it is perhaps not surprising that the #satellite ultimately failed due to some unforeseen problem. https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/07/a-promising-internet-satellite-is-rendered-useless-by-power-supply-issues

Clara Mendes FerreiraMy previous contact fell through, so asking in here for #genetics help!
Anyone can give some tips from a person changing from #microsatellites to #SNP ? What services are better for non-model/no-genome species? Which methods are best for parentage analyses? Include #bioinformatics service: yes no?
Throwing me external resources is also an option! It's time for me to take the step into #NGS !!
