Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for identifying hybridization and genetic pollution associated with red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans)

Fourteen microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized from a microsatellite enriched genomic library obtained for the invasive red-eared slider turtle Trachemys scripta elegans (TSE). All but one locus conformed to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and none displayed linkage disequilibrium. The n...
