Abstract

Expressed sequence tag EST projects have generated vast amount of sequence data from plant species; these EST sequences provide a very good resource for gene discovery gene annotation and marker development. The objective of this study was to develop a systematic and automated bioinformatic-based tool for the development of EST-derived microsatellite SSRs markers from oil palm EST sequence database These SSRs are very useful molecular marker for functional diversity study in natural population or germplasm collections and construction of genetic map. EST-SSR markers are valuable because their development cost is inexpensive they represent transcribed genes and a putative function that often be inferred by homology search. They have been developed and mapped in several crop species and could prove useful for marker assisted selection in oil palm.
