Abstract
We report on the isolation and characterization of eight microsatellite markers in the Hainan Eld’s deer (Cervus eldi hainanus) from genomic DNA-enriched libraries. Thirty-three microsatellites were screened from the libraries, and 8 of the screened microsatellites were polymorphic. The number of observed alleles for each locus in 47 individuals ranged from 2 to 9, and the expected and observed heterozygosity was 0.141–0.792 and 0.128–0.957, respectively. Three loci (CEH-2, CEH-6 and CEH-8) of eight deviated from Hardy-Weinberg expectation and no significant linkage association was found among all these loci. These microsatellite markers provide useful tool for population genetic studies of the Eld’s deer.
