Six polymorphic microsatellite markers developed for the European wild rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) were amplified with 20 other species of lagomorphs, representing both commercially important species and species important from a conservation perspective. Successful amplification of a number of these loci has provided an important set of new molecular markers for this mammalian order.
