Objective To screen new microsatellite loci in Mongolian gerbils to develop genetic markers for genetic analysis.Methods 536 mouse loci were randomly selected from GenBank and amplified in Mongolian gerbils genetic DNA.The positive PCR products were sequenced and confirmed as simple sequence repeat(SSR) loci.Result Of these 536 mouse markers,313(58.39%) were discretely amplified from the laboratory gerbils.Of these 313 sequenced markers,130 were confirmed as SSR loci in the gerbil,in which 105 loci(80.77%) ...
