The new study looked at rapidly evolving DNA regions known as microsatellites in 839 apple samples representing five species ranging from Spain to China.

Extra bases are easily added or lost when the DNA is copied, so the number of repeats in each of these stretches, known as microsatellites, varies widely from one individual to another.

These microsatellites or mutations act as «markers» that researchers implement in order to identify each breed.

Previous estimates using microsatellites and an ultrametric UPGMA bootstrap consensus tree based on (δμ) 2 genetic distances with low support calculated the divergence of southern lineages (excluding San Nicolas) to be 5539 years ago and 12,000 years ago for the island fox lineage as a whole [14].
