From: Assessment of population genetic structure in the arbovirus vector midge, Culicoides brevitarsis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), using multi-locus DNA microsatellites

Figure 2

The distribution pattern of primers across the different microsatellite repeats in Culicoides brevitarsis genome. Considerable variation was observed among the 12 validated microsatellite loci. Exact tests for linkage disequilibrium identified significant association between locus G7B17 and GO2AH. Subsequently locus G7B17, which was less polymorphic than GO2AH was excluded from downstream analysis. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3–13 and 78 alleles were scored across the 11 loci.
