Microsatellite genotype datafile
General
1. Data is in Genepop format (genepop.curtin.edu.au/)
2. Alleles are described by three digits.
3. Missing alleles are represented by ‘000’.
4. Total sample size (n) was 38.
5. Zschokke S, Armbruster GFJ, Ursenbacher S & Baur B (2011). Genetic differences between the
two remaining wild populations of the endangered Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis).
Biological Conservation 144: 2702–2709 doi: 10.1016/j.biocon.2011.07.031
Specific
1. The first line consists of title of file, including species name.
2. The next eight lines contain the names of the microsatellite loci (Zschokke S, Gautschi B &
Baur B (2003). Polymorphic microsatellite loci in the endangered Indian rhinoceros, Rhinoceros
unicornis. Molecular Ecology Notes 3: 233–235 doi: 10.1046/j.1471-8286.2003.00400.x).
3. Data for the first population (Assam, A; Nepal, N) begins after the ‘POP’ line. Each subsequent
population is separated by ‘POP’.
4. The next line and following lines consist of the genotype for each animal, and described by
sample code name (followed by a comma and space) and allelic determinations for eight
microsatellite loci.
5. The sample codes can be interpreted as follows: first letter = population (A = Assam, N =
Nepal). Sample codes with S as second letter denote individuals that lived in zoos. In these
individuals, the remainder of sample code denotes the studbook number in the International
Studbook. Sample codes with D as second letter denote individuals sampled by Eric Dinerstein
during his study on the genetic diversity of free ranging R. unicornis in Nepal (Dinerstein and
McCracken, 1990). N1924 denotes a museum specimen collected 1924 in Nepal.
6. Alleles (two per locus) are described by the size in nucleotide base pairs (eg 182192 = two
alleles, 182bp and 192bp).
