دانلود Sixteen Polymorphic Simple Sequence Repeat Markers from Expressed Sequence Tags of the Chinese Mitten Crab Eriocheir sinensis

Abstract

The  Chinese  mitten  crab  (Eriocheir  sinensis)  is  an  economically  important aquaculture  species  in  China.  In  this  study,  we  developed  and  evaluated  simple  sequence repeat markers from expressed sequence tags of E. sinensis. Among the 40 wild E. sinensis individuals tested, 16 loci were polymorphic. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two  to  ten.  The  observed  heterozygosity  ranged  from  0.0667  to  0.9667,  whereas  the expected  heterozygosity  ranged  from  0.0661  to  0.9051.  These  markers  have  the  potential for use in genetic studies of population structure and intraspecific variation in E. sinensis.
