Additional file 1: of Assessment of population genetic structure in the arbovirus vector midge, Culicoides brevitarsis (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), using multi-locus DNA microsatellites

A summary file of the total number of primers designed to the flanking regions of the microsatellite repeats. From the total primers isolated, 420 primers were either found to be similar to each other or blasted to sequences from other organisms in the database, while 106 primers were unique and did not blast to anything in the NCBI database. After blasting the 106 unique primers against the sequenced reads, 93 primer pairs were predicted to anneal to a single unique read while 13 primer pairs were predicted to anneal to more than one read or to more than one site on a single read.
