Abstract
We isolated 137 unique microsatellite loci from an enriched Light-bellied Brent goose (Branta bernicla hrota) genomic library. Thirty-seven polymorphic loci were characterised in 24 unrelated individuals sampled from a Light-bellied Brent goose population located at Ringneill quay in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. The 37 polymorphic loci displayed between 2 and 38 alleles. Sequence homology was used to assign a predicted chromosome location for 31 polymorphic loci (31 in the chicken (Gallus gallus) and 30 in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) assembled genome). Two polymorphic microsatellite loci were Z-linked based on the typing of known sex individuals (24 females and 25 females) and sequence homology.
