Microsatellite loci

This page contains information about those microsatellite loci that are currently characterized in our laboratory. If available, we also provide information about the amplification of these loci in closely related species.
 
 

• Drosophila
• D. melanogaster
• D. sechellia
• D. virilis
• Cattle
• Latimeria
• Ground squirrel

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Please note:

• Heterozygosities are based on various sample sizes and from population samples that differ dramatically in geographic distribution. They are not meant to be used as population estimates, but rather as a rough guide to gauge the potential usefulness of each marker.
• n.a.: no amplification
• n.d. or blank: not determined
• *: the number of individuals analyzed is smaller than 5
• the information about the repeat structure is only a rough guide
• an alternative, partially overlapping, list of microsatellite loci is available from

the C. Aquadro laboratory, Cornell University and
the D. Goldstein laboratory, UCL
