MISA-web: a web server for microsatellite prediction

Motivation: Microsatellites are a widely‐used marker system in plant genetics and forensics. The development of reliable microsatellite markers from resequencing data is challenging. Results: We extended MISA, a computational tool assisting the development of microsatellite markers, and reimplemented it as a web‐based application. We improved compound microsatellite detection and added the possibility to display and export MISA results in GFF3 format for downstream analysis. Availability and Implementation: MISA‐web can be accessed under http://misaweb.ipk‐gatersleben.de/. The website provides tutorials, usage note as well as download links to the source code.
