Dolichonyx oryzivorus microsatellite sequence
Total genomic DNA was extracted from a blood sample collected on Grade P8 Whatman filter paper using a Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit following the Isolation of Total DNA from FTA and Guthrie Cards protocol developed by the manufacturer. Microsatellite primer development utilized next-generation, paired-end sequencing on the Illumina platform. Data were assembled with the Stack package prior to searching for microsatellite loci using MISA software.
