title: Twelve new turkey microsatellite loci.
abstract: Microsatellite loci continue to be important tools in genetic analysis of populations and experimental families. Twelve new microsatellite sequences for the turkey were obtained from a small insert M13 library. Polymorphism at these new loci was examined in both domestic and wild birds. Seven of 12 loci were polymorphic in domestic turkeys, whereas 10 loci were polymorphic in our sample of wild birds.
