Isolation of polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite markers for the skink Mabuya affinis

We isolated 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the skink Mabuya affinis from genomic libraries enriched for (AAGG)n and (AAAG)n repetitive elements. The number of alleles ranged from eight to 13 per locus with the observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.60 to 0.92. These markers will be useful...

Description
Summary:We isolated 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the skink Mabuya affinis from genomic libraries enriched for (AAGG)n and (AAAG)n repetitive elements. The number of alleles ranged from eight to 13 per locus with the observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.60 to 0.92. These markers will be useful for analysis of questions concerning population genetic structure and models of speciation.
