Abstract Background Microsatellite markers are highly polymorphic and widely used in genome mapping and population genetic studies in livestock species.River buffalo, Bubalus bubalis is an economically important Canvas Mesh Athletic Running Shoes livestock species, though only a limited number of microsatellite markers have been reported thus far in this species.Results In the present study, using two different approaches 571 microsatellite markers have been characterized for water buffalo.

Of the 571 microsatellite markers, 498 were polymorphic with average heterozygosity of 0.51 on a here panel of 24 unrelated buffalo.Fisher exact test was used to detect LD between the marker pairs.

Among the 137550 pairs of marker combination, 14.58% pairs showed significant LD (P Conclusion The high conservation of cattle microsatellite loci in water buffalo promises the usefulness of the cattle microsatellites markers on buffalo.The polymorphic markers characterised in this study will contribute to genetic linkage and radiation hybrid mapping of water buffalo and population genetic studies.
