Replication data for: Robust and highly informative microsatellite-based genetic identity kit for potato

These landraces were selected to represent all four species and taxonomic groups of potato as described above, and represent the same used in the taxonomic study of Spooner et al. (2007) and are described in the supporting dataset 1. Genomic DNA was obtained using standard protocol derived from Doyle and Doyle (1990).

DNA concentration was estimated by using a TBS-380 Fluorometer (Turner BioSystems, USA) with Pico-Green® reagent and 500 ng/ml salmon DNA as reference.
