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 …

(Groenen; Schmid). On the other feathers, the whole pigmentation is diluted and the
wheathand, over microsatellite markers and a number of straw colored shaft streak is …

Background By comparing the quail genome with that of chicken, chromosome
rearrangements that have occurred in these two galliform species over 35 million years of …

This study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for growth-related traits by
constructing a genetic linkage map based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) …

This research was conducted to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with egg-
related traits by constructing a genetic linkage map based on single nucleotide …

In order to develop a comparative map between chicken and quail, we identified
orthologous gene markers based on chicken genomic sequences and localized them on the …

Background As for other non-model species, genetic analyses in quail will benefit greatly
from a higher marker density, now attainable thanks to the evolution of sequencing and …

We have characterized a set of 106 microsatellite markers in 26–127 individual blue tits
(Cyanistes caeruleus), and assigned their location on the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) …

Genotype data from eight microsatellite markers were used to assess genetic diversity and
relationships among five indigenous Bhutanese sheep populations, Sakten, Jakar, Sarpang …

Abstract Background The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is an important poultry species
owing to their high economic efficiency and biological advantages. The genetic diversity of …
