most informative genetic marker type

[manoj oak]

Dear Dr. Hampson,
   
  Yes, you are correct microsatellites are good and widely used markers for such studies. there are numerous number of microsatellites were publicaly available and using these SSRs you can differentiate closely related grass strains, varieties, etc. please see the Theoratical and applied genetics journal.
   
  Also SSRs require little efforts for PCR optimisation and one can screen with high throughput.
   
  with best wishes
  yours

  Dear Sir/Madam
   
  When comparing closely related strains of the same grass species, is there any information as to which marker type is the most likely to be informatice. Are microsatellites the best bet?
   
  Thanks for your help,
