Abstract
Microsatellite loci from the ancient Hungarian variety of the Broad Breasted Bronze Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) were isolated. CA-repeat enriched libraries were constructed from DNA of randomly collected samples. Libraries were screened for repeat-containing clones by PIMA (PCR Isolation of Microsatellite Arrays) and the DNA-sequence of 167 positive clones was determined. A total of 136 microsatellite repeat-containing sequences were found, 59 sequences were unique. Comparing these with the genomic databases, we found 7 previously annotated microsatellite sequences. The newly isolated 52 microsatellites were tested on the mapping population of the University of Minnesota, and the map position of 11 microsatellites was determined.
