Table 1. Glossary.

Amplicon	Product of a DNA amplification reaction.
SSR	Simple sequences repeat (or “microsatellite”). Tandem repeat of simple di- to hexa-nucleotide sequence motifs.
FR	Flanking region. DNA sequences appearing in an amplicon on either side of the SSR sequence.
Indel	A sequence gap in a DNA sequence alignment caused by an insertion or deletion mutation.
SNP	Single nucleotide polymorphism. DNA polymorphism that involves a change in a single base of a DNA sequence.
SSR locus	A specific genomic region consisting of SSR (microsatellite) DNA and its flanking regions (FRs).
