• Satellite DNA (low complexity DNA) is ubiquitous and in some Eucharistic species it represents up to 50% of the total DNA • The minisatellites consist of repeated units of up to 50 times: their use for the genotyping of the primates dates back to the 70s (Smith, Science, 1976) • The microsatellites were used for the genotyping of the live since 1993 (Thomas and Scott,Tag,1993)
