We describe the isolation and characterization of 14 microsatellite loci in the striped field mouse from genomic DNA-enriched libraries in this paper. The 14 new loci were tested in 24 individuals from four populations in Southwest China. These loci were highly polymorphic with numbers of alleles per locus ranging from 6 to 14 and expected heterozygosities from 0.789 to 0.925. All loci followed Hardy-Weinberg expectations except SFM4, SFM11 and SFM13 loci. No significant linkage association was found among all loci. The 14 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci will be useful in studying phylogeography and population genetics of the striped field mouse.
