Characterization of microsatellite DNA markers inthe white-bearded manakin (Manacus manacus)

White-bearded Manakin (Manacus manacus) Science Article 1 abstract Eight microsatellite DNA markers were isolated and characterized from white beardedmanakin (Manacus manacus) using an enrichment cloning procedure. A large number ofalleles (range 9-25), and high levels of observed heterozygosity (mean 0.67) were resolvedin 236 individuals.
