msat. Summary of microsatellite loci identified in H. bacteriophora distinct ESTs. The table describes the microsatellite loci identified in H. bacteriophora distinct ESTs, including the ID and length of H. bacteriophora distinct EST ID, the start and stop coordinates and motif units of the microsatellite loci, GC contents of the distinct ESTs and the flanking sequences, primer sequence, length, and Tm of the left and right primers, and the size of the amplification product from these primers. The asterisk (*) marking H. bacteriophora distinct EST IDs denotes that the primers designed for these loci amplify other adjacent loci too.
