Microsatellites are short tandem DNA repeats, ubiquitous in genomes. They are believed to be under selection pressure, considering their high distribution and abundance beyond chance or random accumulation. However, limited analysis of microsatellites in single taxonomic groups makes it challenging to understand their evolutionary significance across taxonomic boundaries. Despite abundant genomic information, microsatellites have been studied in limited contexts and within a few species, warranting an unbiased examination of their genome-wide distribution in distinct versus closely related-clades...
