Simple Sequence Repeats

Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs), also known as microsatellites, are short, tandemly repeated DNA sequences found in the genome of the coconut plant (Cocos nucifera). These repetitive sequences typically consist of 1-6 base pair motifs repeated in tandem, and they are dispersed throughout the coconut genome. SSRs play a crucial role in various genomic processes, including genome stability, recombination, and gene regulation.
