Development and evaluation of 16 new microsatellite loci for the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) and cross-species amplification for the willow grouse (L. lagopus)

Objective Abstract The genetic markers designed for this study can facilitate future genetic studies on the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta). To our knowledge no microsatellite markers have ever been developed specifically for this species before. These new microsatellite markers will be useful for pop...
