Conteúdo: 	Whereas microsatellite markers are well described, there are few studies investigating minisatellites. Therefore, this study aimed to identify, characterize, and validate minisatellite loci for papaya (Carica papaya L.). The entire papaya genome, which covers 330 Mb, was used to mine minisatellites with motifs ranging from 6 to 500 bp, and at least six replicates and 82 loci were validated in a set of 24 accessions. A total of 1 730 minisatellite loci were identified, located in 695 sequences, with an average of one minisatellite every 156 kb. Variation in GC content ranged from 0.00 to 83.84 % with an average of 28.84 % indicating that these papaya minisatellites are AT rich. Motifs of up to 20 bases represented 71.45 % of the markers. In addition, the observed variation in the number of motif repeats was from 6 to 186 with an average of 9.27 per minisatellite. Independent of the classification, the frequency of minisatellites decreased with an increase in the number of repeating units. Among the validated loci, 48.78 % were found to be polymorphic, and the number of alleles (NA) ranged from two to seven with a mean of 3.10. The average polymorphic information content (PIC), expected heterozygosity (He), and observed heterozygosity (Ho) were 0.38, 0.43, and 0.11, respectively. According to genetic diversity parameters, such as NA, He, and PIC, no significant correlations were found among the size of motifs, the number of repeats, and the GC content of these minisatellites. This study clearly demonstrates the polymorphism of minisatellites and their potential use in detection of intraspecific genetic variations in C. papaya. The results will be useful when managing genetic resources and plant breeding.
