We have estimated the frequency and the average length for 69 perfect dinucleotide microsatellites in an insect with an exceptionally large genome: Chorthippus biguttulus (Orthoptera, Acrididae). Dinucleotide microsatellites are not more frequent in C. biguttulus, but repeat arrays are 1.4 to 2 times longer than in other insect species. The average repeat number in C. biguttulus lies in the range of higher vertebrates. Natural populations are highly variable. At least 30 alleles per locus were found and the expected heterozygosity is above 0.95 at all three loci studied. In contrast, the observed heterozygosity is much lower (≤0.51), which could be caused by long null alleles."}],"_id":"3908","extern":"1","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:53:07Z","publication_status":"published","author":[{"full_name":"Ustinova, Jana","first_name":"Jana","last_name":"Ustinova"},{"full_name":"Achmann, Roland","first_name":"Roland","last_name":"Achmann"},{"last_name":"Cremer","orcid":"0000-0002-2193-3868","id":"2F64EC8C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Sylvia","full_name":"Cremer, Sylvia"},{"full_name":"Mayer, Frieder","first_name":"Frieder","last_name":"Mayer"}],"day":"01","intvolume":" 62","publisher":"Springer","title":"Long repeats in a huge gemome: microsatellite loci in the grasshopper Chorthippus biguttulus","doi":"10.1007/s00239-005-0022-6","month":"02","publist_id":"2242","type":"journal_article","status":"public","citation":{"short":"J.
