	Genetic Health - Colon Cancer: HNPCC - Microsatellite Instability Testing
		Testing for microsatellite instability helps doctors determine whether a person is likely to have a gene mutation that causes hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (also known as HNPCC or Lynch Syndrome).
		Tests are available that detect microsatellite instability in tumor cells, and finding numerous longer or shorter microsatellite regions in these cells suggests the presence of a mutated DNA mismatch repair gene — and that in turn points to HNPCC.
		If a patient's tumor cells show no evidence of microsatellite instability, it's unlikely that he or she has a mutated mismatch repair gene — and that's precisely what genetic tests for HNPCC are looking for.

	Microsatellite
		Microsatellites are defined as short patterned non-coding regions containing specific genetic sequences that are repeated one right after the other (in direct sequence) within the genome of an organism.
		The repeated sequence in a microsatellite consists of two, three or four nucleotides (di-, tri-, or tetra-nucleotide repeats respectively) and can be repeated many times (upwards of 100).
		During the analysis of microsatellites in humans and other organisms it has become evident that the number of repeated sequences in a particular microsatellite locus can vary (location on the chromosome).

	Microsatellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Microsatellite primers are developed by cloning random segments of DNA from the focal species.
		Microsatellite loci are widely distributed throughout the genome and can be isolated from semi-degraded DNA of older specimens, as all that is needed is a suitable substrate for amplification through PCR.

	Microsatellite Analysis
		Microsatellites (also called simple sequence repeats) are a class of genetic polymorphism commonly used for mapping, linkage analysis and to trace inheritance patterns.
		The microsatellite is indicated in upper case letters, and the repeat unit is highlighted in red.
		The region containing the microsatellite is amplified by PCR using primers (P1 and P2) that flank the microsatellite.

		Microsatellite comparative mapping data has also shown that genome homology across species of the same subgenus Symphyomyrtus is very high not only in terms of microsatellite flanking sequence conservation, but also marker order along linkage maps [30].
		Although 70 microsatellites were mapped on a framework map of RAPD markers [15], 34 on a framework of AFLP markers [30], and 40 on a combined RFLP and candidate gene map [17], the genus Eucalyptus still lacks a more comprehensive genetic map built exclusively with microsatellite markers.
		In a microsatellite transferability study between Quercus and Castanea, despite the high sequence identity at the flanking regions observed for 14 loci mapped in corresponding linkage groups, the repeat motif in the non-source species was in some cases shortened and/or modified [55].

	Miniaturized satellite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Microsatellite or "microsat" is usually applied to the name of an artificial satellite with a mass below 100 kg (220 lb).
		Furthermore, since the overall cost risk in the mission is much lower, more up-to-date but less space-proven technology can be incorporated into micro and nanosats than can be used in much larger, more expensive missions with less appetite for risk.
		SuitSat, a retired spacesuit fitted with some basic instrumentation and radio transmitting equipment and released into orbit in 2006, was an unconventional example of a low-cost microsatellite test platform.

	Colon Cancer Patients With Genetic Abnormality Live Longer
		Microsatellite instability is a type of genetic error found in the "letter" pairs that make up DNA, the basic set of instructions found in every cell of the body.
		Microsatellite instability has been found in a high percentage of tumors that occur in people with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), an inherited form of colon cancer in which multiple tumors occur at a young age.
		Microsatellite instability refers to sections of mismatched DNA that fail to be repaired during cell division.

	UTIAS/SFL - MOST Mission Objectives
		The satellite's mission is to conduct long-duration stellar photometry observations in space.
		To make these measurements, MOST incorporates into a microsatellite design a small (15 cm aperture), high-photometric-precision optical telescope and a Dynacon high performance attitude control system that is revolutionary in its pointing accuracy for a microsatellite.
		Until recently, performing optical astronomy experiments from a low-cost microsatellite (mass < 100 kg) was considered unfeasible because of the poor pointing possible from a platform with such small inertia (approx.
