Satellite Regions Repeats Describe Vary Identify Individuals Number

Satellite regions vary in the number of mini/microsatellite repeats, creating different lengths inherited from both parents. These variations can identify individuals because the closer the relation, the more similar the patterns in satellite regions will be.

Les régions satellites varient en nombre de répétitions de mini/microsatellites, ce qui crée des longueurs différentes héritées des deux parents. Ces variations permettent d'identifier les individus car plus la parenté est proche, plus les schémas des régions satellites sont similaires.

Front Describe how satellite regions vary and why they can be used to identify individuals.
Back Satellite regions:
  • Number of repeats of each mini/microsatellite varies between individuals - different lengths of repeats inherited from both parents
  • The more closely related, the more similar your patterns in satellite regions will be
