CONCATENATE Basics. To use the CONCATENATE function, write a formula starting =CONCATENATE( followed by each item you want to combine, separated by commas. To include strings of plain text, wrap the text inside quotation marks. For example, the formula =CONCATENATE(x,y) results in a single cell that reads xy..
Microsatellite genotyping is the genotyping of tandem repeats such as Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) or Variable Nucleotide Tandem Repeats (VNTRs). STRs and VNTRs are polymorphic DNA loci present throughout the genome.Microsatellite genotyping is a widely accepted tool for a variety of applications such as linkage mapping studies, association studies, and identification of organisms.Applied Biosystems' five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, for improved throughput.Figure 1 is an example of 18 microsatellite loci co-electrophoresed in a single capillary.pplied Biosystems' five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, for improved throughput.

Microsatellites are di-, tri-, or tetra nucleotide tandem repeats in DNA sequences. The number of repeats is variable in populations of DNA and within the alleles of an individual.The sequence below has a 20 dinucleotide repeat (40bp) stretch of CA that is shown in bold.

The likelihood that features will be inherited together is measured as a log of odds ratio (LOD) e.g. 100:1 or a LOD of 2.
