Summary

Twelve new microsatellite loci were identified in turkeys. These genetic markers showed polymorphism in both domestic and wild turkey populations, with higher variability observed in wild birds.

Background:

Microsatellite loci are essential for genetic analysis in populations and experimental families.
Understanding genetic diversity is crucial for conservation and breeding programs.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and characterize new microsatellite loci in turkeys.
To assess the polymorphism of these new loci in both domestic and wild turkey populations.

Main Methods:

Isolation of microsatellite sequences from a turkey M13 library.
Examination of polymorphism at 12 newly identified microsatellite loci.
Analysis of genetic variation in domestic and wild turkey samples.

Main Results:

Twelve new microsatellite loci were successfully identified in turkeys.
Seven of the 12 loci were found to be polymorphic in domestic turkeys.
Ten of the 12 loci exhibited polymorphism in the sampled wild birds, indicating greater genetic diversity.

Conclusions:

The newly developed microsatellite loci are valuable genetic markers for turkey research.
These markers can differentiate genetic variation within domestic and wild turkey populations.
The higher polymorphism in wild turkeys suggests greater genetic diversity and potential for future genetic studies.
