Anonymous and EST-based microsatellite DNA markers that transfer broadly across the fig genus (Ficus, Moraceae) [PDF]

, 2012
• Premise of the study: We developed a set of microsatellite markers for broad utility across the species-rich pantropical tree genus Ficus (fig trees). The markers were developed to study population structure, hybridization, and gene flow in neotropical
