title: Isolation and characterization of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in the buff-throated partridge (Tetraophasis szechenyii).
abstract: Twelve polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated from an AC-enriched genomic library of Buff-throated partridge (Tetraophasis szechenyii). The allele number of these loci ranged from three to 13 (average 7.75 per locus) in tested individuals. Polymorphism information content ranged from 0.532 to 0.882 with an average of 0.721. Average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.559 (range from 0.240 to 0.792) and 0.772 (range from 0.621 to 0.910), respectively. These microsatellite markers will be useful for the assessment of genetic diversity, relatedness identification of family and analysis of population structure in wild buff-throated partridge.
