Polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers for the white-breasted thrasher, Ramphocinclus brachyurus

We isolated and characterized six polymorphic microsatellite markers for the white-breasted thrasher from genomic libraries enriched for (AC)(n), (GT)(n), (CAAA)(n), (TTTC)(n), (GAC)(n), (CT)(n) and (TTTG)(n) microsatellites. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to seven. Observed heterozygosity (H-O) ranged from 0.30 to 0.85.
