Abstract

We isolated 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the skink Mabuya affinis from genomic libraries enriched for (AAGG) n and (AAAG) n repetitive elements. The number of alleles ranged from eight to 13 per locus with the observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.60 to 0.92 . These markers will be useful for analysis of questions concerning population genetic structure and models of speciation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
