Genome-wide microsatellites and species specific markers in genus Phytophthora revealed through whole genome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Genome wide microsatellite maps shall support Phytophthora systematics through the development of reliable markers, enabling species discrimination and variability analyses. Whole genome sequences of 17 Phytophthora accessions belonging to 14 species were retrieved from GenBank and the genome-wide microsatellites in each species were mined. A total of 51,200 microsatellites, including dinucleotide to decanucleotide motifs, have been identified across all the species and each one was characterized for uniqueness and repeat number. The P. infestans T30-4 genome had the highest (6873) and P. multivora 3378 had the lowest number of microsatellites (1802). Dinucleotide motifs (63.6%) followed by trinucleotide motifs (30.1%) were most abundant in all the genome. From
