Introduction

MIcroSAtellite Identification Tool (MISA) allows the identification and localization of perfect microsatellites as well as compound microsatellites which are interrupted by a certain number of bases. In order to design primers flanking the SSR loci, two Perl scripts serve as interface modules for the program-to-program data interchange between MISA and the primer modeling software Primer3 (Whitehead Institute).

For more information, visit the MISA official website.
