Characterization of 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci in weathervane scallop Patinopecten caurinus
نویسندگان
چکیده
Discrete and commercially important patches of weathervane scallops ( Patinopecten caurinus ) are found in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. Little is known about weathervane scallop life history and population structure, but the species is vulnerable to overexploitation because of their large size and long lifespan. Here we describe 16 polymorphic microsatellite loci developed to study the relatedness of these discrete patches. All loci were polymorphic in the 32 individuals tested; the number of alleles range from four to 26 and heterozygosities ranged from 0.437 to 1.000.

Characterization of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms in weathervane scallop
We describe 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a commercially important bivalve, the weathervane scallop ( Patinopecten caurinus ), identified using a targeted-gene approach. We further characterize 12 of these using 5′ -nuclease and allele-specific PCR assays. Polymorphisms were identified in both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. These are the first SNPs developed for delineating pop...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of 13 new microsatellite markers in the triangle mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii)
Microsatellite enriched library of Hyriopsis cumingii was constructed according to the strong affinity between biotin and streptavidin. One hundred clones with foreign inserts were sequenced and 65 clones were screened for usable microsatellites, of which 36 were deemed unique, of sufficient length (more than 8 repeats) and possessed adequate flanking regions for primer designment. Among 36 pri...

متن کاملPolymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from the great scallop, Pecten maximus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae)
We isolated and characterized nine polymorphic microsatellite loci from the great scallop ( Pecten maximus ) as part of an attempt to better understand the population–genetic structure of this species. Levels of genetic diversity were assessed in 32 scallops collected from the coastal waters of Port Erin Bay, Isle of Man. The number of alleles ranged from two to 29 and observed and expected het...
متن کاملEstimating microsatellite based genetic diversity in Rhode Island Red chicken
This study aimed to estimate microsatellite based genetic diversity in two lines (the selected RIRS and control line RIRC) of Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken. Genomic DNA of 24 randomly selected birds maintained at Central Avian Research Institute (India) and 24 microsatellite markers were used. Microsatellite alleles were determined on 6% urea-PAGE, recorded using GelDoc system and the samples ...
