Abstract
Taking advantage of the annotated genome of Trypanosoma brucei, a unicellular eukaryotic
parasite which causes sleeping sickness across sub3Saharan Africa, this study develops 11
variable microsatellite loci, which reliably amplify in poor and unknown quality DNA samples.
We provide insights into effective screening methods to develop microsatellite loci from
genomic resources and a set of markers to study regional population variation in this important
parasite.
