Abstract excerpt
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 equilibrium and two of the loci had a greater than 95% probability of having null alleles. 4. These microsatellite loci...
