Abstract

Fourteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the golden pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus). The average allele number of these microsatellites was 11.14 per locus, ranging from two to seventeen in a group of 31 individuals. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.763 and 0.722, respectively. The average polymorphic information content value, cumulative discrimination power, overall probability of exclusion with both unknown parents or with only unknown sire for these markers were 0.741, 1.0, 0.9999, and 1.0, respectively. This set of microsatellite markers would provide useful tools for conservation genetic studies of the golden pheasant.
