background: major histocompatibility complex (mhc) in chicken has profound influence on resistance/susceptibility to disease, and production and reproduction traits. microsatellite marker lei0258 is a genetic indicator for mhc haplotypes. recognizing diversity of mhc haplotypes in selectively bred populations will be helpful for selecting population resistant to disease and development of effec...

Twelve new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the hard-shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus. In 32 individuals from a wild population of coastal Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied from 3 to 15, with a mean of 5.667. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.6927 and 0.6591, respectively. Among these polymorphic microsatellite ...

The Pacific cod ( Gadus macrocephalus ) supports large commercial fisheries in the northern Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. Here we characterize 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from enriched genomic libraries. Loci were screened on a sample of 96 spawning adults. The average number of alleles per locus was 25.3 (range 12–44), with expected heterozygosities ( H E ) ranging from 0.5...

Fifteen new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the cuttlefish Sepiella maindroni. In 32 individuals from a wild population of coastal Ningde, Fujian Province, China, the number of alleles at these loci varied between 2 and 12, with an average of 5.86. The mean observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.6917 and 0.5993, respectively. Among these polymorphic microsatellite loci...

A microsatellite-enriched genomic library for marble goby (Oxyeleotris marmoratus), a freshwater fish of considerable economic value, was obtained. A total of 16 microsatellite markers were successfully isolated and characterized in a population from the Mekong River in Vietnam. These markers had 2-20 alleles with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.0370 to 0.8927. Linkage equilibrium was ob...

population of vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers originated from two regions along the iranian coastline of southern caspian sea (anzali lagoon and havigh river in gilan province). totally 153 alleles were identified. the highest number of alleles per ca3 loci was 17 and the lowest 3 in z8145 loci with means of 7.6. observed and expected heterozygosity averages were...
