Characteristics of the 12 P. falciparum microsatellite loci with the marker code, chromosome location, GenBank accession number, the number of microsatellite alleles detected per locus and the size range of the amplified alleles in base pairs.
The primer sequences for each pair of PCR primers, and PCR conditions are as already reported [30]. Loci have been previously reported to comply with the IAM^a or SMM^b models of evolution and this suitable for F_ST or R_ST analysis, respectively.
