Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in wild and domestic turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo)
Authors:Emily K. Latch  Edward J. Smith  Olin E. Rhodes
Abstract:We describe the isolation, development and application of seven microsatellite loci in the eastern wild turkey, Meleagris gallopavo silvestris, as well as their amplification and levels of polymorphism in the domestic turkey. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 15 and average heterozygosity was high for almost all loci. Domestic turkeys showed significantly reduced numbers of alleles per locus and overall heterozygosities when compared to eastern wild turkeys. The high variability in these markers should provide the level of resolution required to continue studies of wild turkey population genetics.
Keywords:domestication  Meleagris gallopavo  microsatellite  reintroduction  translocation  wild turkey
