PCT No. PCT/US95/15150 Sec. 371 Date May 27, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 27, 1997 PCT Filed Jul. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO96/17082 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 6, 1996Compound microsatellites used as self-anchoring primers for screening genomes to detect polymorphisms are provided. The preferred compound microsatellite primers are perfect compound dinucleotide primers wherein the adjacent dinucleotide pairs contain a common nucleotide which is in-phase across the compound junction. In a useful embodiment, these in-phase compound primers have been adapted to other known screening assays including variations of the AFLP assays.
