EST-SSR Sites

EST-deriverd SSRs(Estimated Sequence tags- Simple sequence Repeats)has been shown to be less polymorphic than those derived from genomic sequences, they have some intrinsic advantages: they can be quickly obtained by electronic sorting, are unbiased in their repeat type, are present in gene rich regions of genome and are abundant. Since they represent tanscribed part of the genome, EST based SSR markers lead to mapping of genes.
