Abstract
Fifty-seven polymorphic loci were isolated from a microsatellite-enriched goose (Anser cygnoides) genomic library. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 10. The expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.05 to 0.95 and from 0.04 to 1.00, respectively. Forty-seven out of 57 loci conformed to the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and no significant linkage disequilibrium was found in the pairwise comparisons among the 57 loci. The microsatellite markers isolated and characterised in this study will contribute to the construction of a genetic map and mapping of quantitative trait loci in geese, as well as to phylogenetic studies of this species.
