Characterization of tetra-nucleotide microsatellite loci in the ostrich (Struthio camelus)

1. Eleven polymorphic tetra-nucleotide microsatellite loci were identified in the ostrich (Struthio camelus) using a selective enrichment protocol. 2. The average number of alleles observed was 6.6 with an average heterozygosity of 0.4. 3. The population was found to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibri...
