本研究開發了7組臺灣地區巢鼠(Micromys minutus)具多型性的微隨體基因座。我們分析了同一族群中38隻巢鼠個體,結果顯示,該族群中各基因座具3至17個對偶子,而其異型合子的平均觀察值與預測值分別為0.433和0.656,並無無效對偶子存在。未來將可據此7組微隨體基因座研究巢鼠的族群遺傳結構。
Seven polymorphic microsatellite loci are described for the harvest mouse, Micromys minutus in Taiwan. For a panel of 38 individuals with unknown relationship, the numbers of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 17. The observed and expected heterozygosities averaged 0.433 and 0.656, respectively. These seven markers should offer potentials to investigate the harvest mouse population genetic structure.
