Development of eight novel microsatellite markers for Huoyan geese

Z. Z. Cao, Su, D., Zhao, Y. Y., Liu, M., Gao, M., and Luan, X. H., Development of eight novel microsatellite markers for Huoyan geese, vol. 13, pp. 5562-5565, 2014.

In this study, we isolated microsatellite DNA from the Huoyan goose genome with magnetic beads. As a result, 150 positive clones were identified, and 148 microsatellites were found. Among the 148 microsatellites, 69.6% were perfect, 17.6% were imperfect, and the rest were compound type (12.8%). Twenty microsatellite primers were used to screen 90 individuals from 3 Huoyan goose populations. Eight loci were polymorphic with a low number of alleles (2 to 4). The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.3556 to 1 and from 0.2923 to 0.6868, respectively.
