Table 6 Overview of the recognition pattern of different mechanism potentially generating SSR-couples
proposed origin | overrepresentation | conformation | motif length | motif similarity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
chance (c) | none (low) | balanced | none required | none required |
recombination (r) | medium | unbalanced – minus | equal | reverse complement |
slippage (s) | high | unbalanced | equal (stepwise equal) | high |
