N2  - Microsatellites also known as simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are short repeat motifs (1-6 bp) found in DNA sequences Detection of microsatellites is important for the development of molecular markers and to study the mapping of traits of economic, medical or ecological interest. In the present study, chloroplast genome sequence of Anthoceros formosae, downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) was mined with the help of MISA tool to detect SSRs in chloroplast genome (cpSSRs). A total of 67 SSRs were detected with a density of 1 SSR/2.4 kb in 161.162 kb sequence mined. Depending on the repeat units, the length of SSRs ranged from 12 to 18 bp for mono-, 14 to 46 bp for di-, 12 to 27 bp for tri-, 12 to 20 bp for tetra and 18 bp for hexa-nucleotide repeats. Mononucleotide repeats were the most frequent repeat type (35.82%) followed by dinucleotide repeats (25.37%). Penta-nucleotide repeats were not detected in chloroplast genome sequence of Anthoceros formosae.
