| Abstract: | Based on the publicly available genome draft of Cavia porcellus and four other loci described for C. aperea, we characterized 16 microsatellite loci applicable for C. magna and 12 for C. aperea. We designed the primers to be used in a multiplex fluorescence array. The average number of alleles for each locus was 7.4 and the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.67. The use of these markers provides a good framework for population genetics, molecular ecology and other evolutionary studies in these species. |
