Identification of microsatellites from an extinct moa species using highthroughput (454) sequence data

Genetic variation in microsatellites is rarely examined in the field of ancientDNA (aDNA) due to the low quantity of nuclear DNA in the fossil record together with the lack of characterized nuclear markers in extinct species. 454 sequencing platforms provide a new high-throughput technology capable...
