  Definition: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a coenzyme found in all living cells. The compound is a dinucleotide, because it consists of two nucleotides joined through their phosphate groups. One nucleotide contains an adenine base and the other nicotinamide. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide exists in two forms, an oxidized and reduced form abbreviated as NAD+ and NADH respectively.

  Microsatellites are unique highly polymorphic and informative genetic markers dispersed in the human genome.
  Use in tumors
  Microsatellites have become the most commonly used markers to trace loss of heterozygosity in tumors. Their detection by PCR is rapid and can be semi-automated with maximal robustness and reproducibility.
