We screened 138 human-derived markers to assess their utility in Francois’ langur (Trachypithecus francoisi). Of the 138 loci,twenty-three produced reliable results and exhibited moderate levels of polymorphism. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to nine among 28 individuals,and average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0. 50 and 0. 62, respectively. Seven loci showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There were null alleles at nine loci,but no linkage disequilibrium between loci was detected. These loci could be useful in the population genetic study of this species. %U http://www.mammal.cn/EN/abstract/article_2352.shtml
