“…We subjected the four DNA extracts from each colony to PCR at 12 variable microsatellite loci: A24, A28, A79, A88, A107, Ap43, Ap66, Ap81, AC006, B124 (Estoup et al 1995;Garnery et al 1992;Solignac et al 2003), and HB-THE-03 and HB-THE-04 (Shaibi et al 2008), using the previously reported reaction conditions. The final reaction volume per sample was~10 μL and contained 5 μL of PCR Master Mix (Promega, Madison, WI), 1.0-2.5 μL of fluorescent dye-labeled primer, 0.9 μL of nuclease-free water, and 2 μL of DNA extract.…”
