Development of transcriptome genetic markers for the great snipe (Gallinago media)

• We sequenced the transcriptomes of 14 great snipe (Gallinago media) males from the Gavalia study population (central Norway) using Roche 454 technology. The assembled transcriptome sequences (RNA-Seq) was used to identify 140 microsatellite repeat sequences with sufficient flanking sequence information for primer design. In addition several 1000 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the transcriptome were identified, and a small subset of these were verified by independent genotyping.
