Development and Isolation of 17 polymorphic Microsatellite Loci in Coptoterms formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Development and Isolation of 17 polymorphic Microsatellite Loci in Coptoterms formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)

Seventeen polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci for Copototermes formosanus were isolated and characterized. Polymorphism of these loci was assessed in a sample of 32 unrelated C. formosanus individuals. An average of 4.6 alleles per locus (3-8 alleles) was detected. Observed and expected heterozygos...
