| Twenty-one novel tri-and tetranucleotide microsatellite loci for the Amur tiger (_Panthera tigris altaica_) | |
| 2009 Conservation Genetics (10): 567-570 | |
Amur tiger is the largest subspecies of tiger in the world and his conservation has also received much attention. In this study, we isolated and characterized twenty-one tri- and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers from this species. The number of alleles for each locus ranged from two to nine in a group of 60 individuals and the observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.333-0.917 and 0.302-0.822, respectively. The overall discrimination power and exclusion probabilities in parentage and paternity testing for these markers were 1.00, 0.9947 and 0.9999, respectively, indicating high-resolution power of microsatellite markers. |
