摘要
Eight microsatellite markers were developed via pyrosequencing of a microsatellite-enriched library for the African Penguin (Spheniscus demersus). These microsatellite loci displayed 2-6 alleles with expected heterozygosity values ranging between 0.316 and 0.782 and observed heterozygosity between 0.381 and 0.84. These loci may be suitable for assessing patterns of genetic variability in African penguin. This is the first development of species-specific markers for the African penguin.
