Abstract excerpt
We investigated the applicability of microsatellite primers, designed in horses, for use in plains and mountain zebras. Fifteen of the 20 tested horse-isolated primer pairs reliably amplified polymorphic loci in two wild equid species. We used this information to assess whether levels of genetic variation and repeat size differed in species from which microsatellites were isolated and in closely related target...
