Abstract: | Père David’s deer underwent known bottlenecks but has recovered to more than 2000 individuals in China, making it interesting
to assess its genetic variability from a microsatellite perspective. For this purpose, we developed eight novel microsatellite
loci using magnetic-bead enrichment methods. These microsatellite markers revealed a low level of genetic variation in the
David’s deer, showing two alleles each locus, 0.31 and 0.38 for average observed and expected heterozyogosities, respectively.
Combined with previous cross-species primers, this set of markers would play an important role in future genetic investigation
of the David’s deer. |
