Known for causing extensive damage to timber used in the built environment, the termite also has a habit of nesting in carton nests in wood and wooden structures in buildings. As so little is known of its breeding system, colony, and genetic structure, we initiated work to sequence its genome with an Illumina HiSeq\u2122 2000 sequencer. In this publication, we announce our paired-end sequencing data and report the isolation of 119,190 microsatellite markers from our DNA assembly. The microsatellite marker reported in this publication can be used to elucidate the mating system and genetic structure of this highly invasive termite species. Additionally, in this announcement the study authors make the Bio Project sequence accession number SRR13105492 accessible from the Sequence Read Archive database.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data6040040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,12]],"date-time":"2021-04-12T03:04:06Z","timestamp":1618196646000},"page":"40","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Isolation of Microsatellite Markers from De Novo Whole Genome Sequences of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4845-0222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Li Yang","family":"Lim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Household &amp; Structural Urban Entomology Laboratory, Vector Control Research Unit, School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Minden 11800, Penang, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8536-4951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shawn","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Household &amp; Structural Urban Entomology Laboratory, Vector Control Research Unit, School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Minden 11800, Penang, Malaysia"},{"name":"Genetics Laboratory, Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), Biotechnology Division, Kepong 52109, Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5297-8981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdul Hafiz","family":"Ab Majid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Household &amp; Structural Urban Entomology Laboratory, Vector Control Research Unit, School of Biological Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Minden 11800, Penang, Malaysia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.17576\/jsm-2015-4402-07","article-title":"Define colony number of subterranean termites Coptotermes gestroi (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) in selected infested structures","volume":"44","author":"Ahmad","year":"2015","journal-title":"Sains Malays."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"32","article-title":"A practical guide to DNA extraction, PCR, and gene-based DNA sequencing in insects","volume":"5","author":"Moreau","year":"2014","journal-title":"Halteres"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"92","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-8286.2007.01884.x","article-title":"Msatcommander: Detection of microsatellite repeats arrays and automated, locus-specific primer design","volume":"8","author":"Faircloth","year":"2008","journal-title":"Mol.
