New methods to identify conserved microsatellite loci and develop primer sets of high cross-species utility - as demonstrated for birds

We have developed a new approach to create microsatellite primer sets that have high utility across a wide range of species. The success of this method was demonstrated using birds. We selected 35 avian EST microsatellite loci that had a high degree of sequence homology between the zebra finch Taeni...
