Here, we describe the challenges faced when implementing this microsatellite-based genotyping protocol in our laboratory and possible ways to overcome them, hopefully aiding other novice research teams in this field.openAccessMultiplex PCRPontuação alélica manualInterferência de fluoróforoMilho tropicalMarcadores microssatélitesReação em cadeia da polimeraseManual allele scoringPull-upFluorophore interferenceTropical maizePolymerase chain reactionMicrosatellite markers in maize: challenges and guidelines for implementing multiplex SSR analyses.Artigo de periódico
