How to use SSRHunter Hui Wang OARDC E-mail:wang.t3@osu.edu
Purpose of this tutorial • To demonstrate how to download and install SSRHunter software. • Demonstrate use of SSRHunter to identify potential SSRs in a sequence. • To demonstrate how to design a PCR-based molecular marker for a Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) using SSRhunter. • Hayden, M.J. and P.J. Sharp. 2001. Nucleic Acids Research 29 (8):e44. • Li, Q., and Wan, J. M.. Yi chuan. 2005. SSRHunter: development of a local searching software for SSR sites.
SSR hunter • Software language: Chinese and English • Operating Systems: Win9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003
Search for “ssrhunter” Click this link!!! That is what I want!!!
Download Page ------------Scroll Down!!!
Save or open the program!!! I recommend you SAVE to the DESKTOP and then unpack.
Download Complete!!! Click open folder, and Click on the .exe file
1:Choose options 2:Paste in sequence 3:Click Run
This option means the maximum nucleotide repeat unit. eg:attg Simply paste the sequences in this box. The bigger size, the longer processing time. I have used sequences up to ~200Mb. This option means the minimum repeat. eg:attgattgattgattgattg or (attg)5 Click to RUN!!!
No.; repeat; # repeats; position 1:scaffold06004:2320000-2460000 sequence for example Output file!!!

One example is shown here.
What is the next step? .Primer3 to design your primer according to the SSR hunter output. http://frodo.wi.mit.edu/primer3/ (Uniform Resource Locator for Primer3)
Simply paste the sequences in this box. Select product size (I suggest 150-250) Click to pick primers!!!
What is the last step? . Run PCR and separate fragments for validation. . In my experience, more than 60% of putative SSRs identified with SSRHunter detect polymorphisms.
In this example, 3%agarose 3h detects a polymorphism. That is what I want!!!
