  1. aThe repeat number of each microsatellite unit motif
  2. bTotal numbers of alleles including both dominant and minor alleles detected
  3. cExpected Heterozygosity (HE) was calculated from a restricted data set containing only the dominant allele in each sample
  4. dThe allele based on consensus sequence of variable number of tandem repeats
