| high levels of polymorphism found through cross-amplification of microsatellite loci in a ctenomys pearsoni (rodentia, ctenomyidae) population. | ctenomys pearsoni (pearson's tuco-tuco) is a subterranean rodent native to uruguay. we tested the amplification pattern of 12 microsatellite loci, designed for c. sociabilis and c. haigi in a c. pearsoni population. dna extractions were made from hair samples, and pcr amplification products were run on an abi 3100 microcapillary gel. eight loci were selected to form a highly polymorphic panel that could be used to efficiently screen populations of this species. in dna from 35 tuco-tucos, the mea ... | 2013 | 23613235 |
