The invention discloses microsatellite DNA markers for Trionyx sinensis, which is characterized in that an enriched library of microsatellites (CA)n, (AAC)n, (ACAG)n and (GATA)n from the Trionyx sinensis is constructed, and positive clones of microsatellite sequences are screened and sequenced to obtain 63 clones containing microsatellite repetitive sequences, thus determining 15 microsatellite markers with rich polymorphism, namely, PSW01, PSW02, PSW03, PSW04, PSW05, PSW06, PSW07, PSW08, PSW09, PSW10, PSW11, PSW12, PSW13, PSW14 and PSW15. The microsatellite DNA markers for the Trionyx sinensis of the invention can be applied to researching genetic diversity and paternity test for the Trionyx sinensis in different geographical populations, have the advantage of good repeatability, and are reliable and effective molecular markers.
