Isolation and characterization of microsatellites in Chinese soft‐shelled turtle,Pelodiscus sinensis

Fifteen polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the Chinese soft‐shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) from the (GT)_n microsatellite‐enriched genomic library, using the fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequences containing repeats protocol. The polymorphism of all 15 loci ranged from two to seven alleles with observed heterozygosities ranging from 0.03 to 0.98 (mean 0.43) in one population of 40 individuals. These novel loci will be helpful for understanding the population structure at genetic level and marker‐assisted breeding of this vulnerable species.     

Fifteen novel polymorphic microsatellites in rock carp, Procypris rabaudi (Tchang), an endemic fish species in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River drainage

Fifteen new microsatellite markers were isolated in rock carp, Procypris rabaudi (Tchang), from an AC-enriched genomic library. The allele number of these loci ranged from three to 13 (average 6.87 per locus) in the tested 24 individuals. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.453 to 0.821 with an average of 0.719. Average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.712 (range 0.565–0.917) and 0.772 (range 0.542–0.855), respectively. These microsatellite markers could be useful in the population genetic study of rock carp.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in Lesquerella fendleri (Brassicaceae) and cross‐species amplification

Fifteen novel microsatellite primer pairs are presented for Lesquerella fendleri, which were developed from seven dinucleotide, five trinucleotide and three tetranucleotide microsatellite DNA loci. These loci were characterized for 40 individuals from 24 localities throughout the species range. The number of alleles observed per locus ranged from three to 16, the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.175 to 0.750, and the polymorphic information content ranged from 0.218 to 0.889. Cross‐species transferability tested on nine species of Lesquerella and one species of the related genus Physaria indicates that these primer pairs may be useful for population genetic studies of other species in Lesquerella and possibly other closely related genera.     

A panel of polymorphic microsatellite markers in Himalayan monal Lophophorus impejanus developed by cross-species amplification and their applicability in other Galliformes

Isolation and development of new microsatellite markers for any species is still labour-intensive and requires substantial inputs of time, money and expertise. Therefore, cross-species microsatellite amplification can be an effective way in obtaining microsatellite loci for closely related taxa in bird species. We have reported microsatellite loci for Himalayan monal for the first time. Fifteen microsatellite markers developed for chicken were cross-amplified in Himalayan monal. All the tested 15 microsatellite markers were polymorphic, with mean (± s.e.) allelic number of 4 ± 1.51, ranging 2–7 per locus. The observed heterozygosity in the population ranged between 0.285 and 0.714, with mean (± s.e.) of 0.499 ± 0.125, indicating considerable genetic variation in this population. While 12 loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05), 3 loci, i.e. MCW0295, MCW0081, MCW0330 deviated from it (P < 0.05). No evidence for linkage disequilibrium was observed among pair of loci. Our study show that these 15 microsatellites loci could be employed in population genetic studies for Himalayan monal and their applicability in Jungle Bush Quail, Grey francolin and Kalij pheasant.

     

Characterization of polymorphic microsatellite markers and genetic diversity in wild bronze featherback, Notopterus notopterus (Pallas, 1769)

Six polymorphic microsatellite DNA loci were identified in the primitive fish, bronze featherback, Notopterus notopterus for the first time and demonstrated significant population genetic structure. Out of the six primers, one primer (NN90) was specific to N. notopterus (microsatellite sequence within the RAG1 gene) and five primers were product of successful cross-species amplification. Sixty-four primers available from 3 fish species of order Osteoglossiformes and families Notopteridae and Osteoglossidae were tested to amplify homologous microsatellite loci in N. notopterus. Fifteen primer pairs exhibited successful cross-priming PCR product. However, polymorphism was detected only at five loci. To assess the significance of these six loci (including NN90) in population genetic study, 215 samples of N. notopterus from five rivers, viz Satluj, Gomti, Yamuna, Brahmaputra and Mahanadi were analyzed. The five sample sets displayed different diversity levels and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.6036 to 0.7373. Significant genotype heterogeneity (P < 0.0001) and high F_ST (0.2205) over all loci indicated that the samples are not drawn from the same genepool. The identified microsatellite loci are promising for use in fine-scale population structure analysis of N. notopterus.

Isolation and characterization of 17 microsatellite loci for the Chinese longsnout catfish (Leiocassis longirostris)

We describe the isolation and development of 17 polymorphic dinucleotide microsatellite loci for the Chinese longsnout catfish (Leiocassis longirostris). All loci were polymorphic in the 30 individuals tested. The number of alleles per variable locus ranged from 6 to 18, with a mean of 11.71. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.467 to 1.000 and from 0.540 to 0.929, respectively. Eight loci were found to have deviated from HWE in the sampled population after Bonferroni correction. Linkage disequilibrium tests revealed significant linkage between two loci (LLW5 and LL27). These microsatellite loci will be useful for revealing population structure, genetic diversity, and phylogeography of the Chinese longsnout catfish.     

Microsatellite loci from the pink shrimp Farfantenaeus notialis (Crustacea,Decapoda)

Farfantepenaeus notialis is an important resource for fisheries in Cuba. For this reason and for a sustainable exploitation it is important to study their population structure and genetic variability. We report and characterize microsatellites as genetic markers from this species. Fifteen microsatellite polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers were designed and tested in some individuals from different populations. Seven pair of primers showed reliable amplification products and five were polymorphic. The allele number ranged from 4 to 33, and the observed and expected heterozygosities were relatively high with values between 0.63 and 0.74 and 0.56 and 0.81, respectively. Departures from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were observed for all loci.     

Characterization of 22 microsatellites loci from the endangered Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata undulata)

Here we present a new set of 22 microsatellite loci isolated from Chlamydotis undulata undulata, an endangered Houbara bustard found across North Africa. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to nine, and heterozygosities ranged from 0.167 to 0.944. Total exclusionary probabilities using these loci for the first and the second parent were 0.992932 and 0.999915, respectively. Successful cross‐amplification was observed in eight other Otididae species (12–22 of the 22 loci). These microsatellite markers are powerful tools for genetic identification, paternity assignment and population genetic studies.

Conclusion: The eight microsatellite primer pairs are potentially suitable for population genetic studies and successfully amplified in another Fabaceae species.     

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the barley scald pathogen,Rhynchosporium secalis

Fifteen primer pairs were designed for 14 polymorphic microsatellite loci, which were isolated and characterized from genomic libraries of Rhynchosporium secalis. Conditions for multiplexing and simultaneous genotyping of up to eight loci in a single run are described. The number of alleles per polymorphic locus ranged from two to 13 in populations from Switzerland and Australia. Genotypic diversity ranged from 61.5 to 66.7. Gene diversity ranged from 0.08 to 0.89 for individual polymorphic loci, with averages of 0.54 and 0.62 for the populations from Switzerland and Australia, respectively. Variable levels of polymorphism make these ideal markers for population genetic analyses.

Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.17 to 0.92 and from 0.16 to 0.72, respectively. These polymorphic microsatellite loci provide useful tools for the ongoing population genetic studies of D. cercidifolius var. longipes.     

Development of 15 polymorphic genic microsatellite DNA markers of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai

Fifteen polymorphic genic microsatellite DNA markers were developed based on the expressed sequence tags of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai we ourselves generated, which were used to type 32 individuals representing a cultured population. The number of alleles each locus ranged from two to 12. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.094 to 0.969 and from 0.091 to 0.878, respectively. Among 15 loci, four were found to deviate significantly from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (P_HW < 0.001). No linkage disequilibrium was found between these loci. It is certain that these markers will facilitate the management and exploitation of the genetic resource of Pacific abalone.

Novel Polymorphic Microsatellite Markers for Panulirus ornatus and their Cross-species Primer Amplification in Panulirus homarus

Polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated for Panulirus ornatus using 454 GS-FLX Titanium pyrosequencing. Fifteen markers containing perfect di-, tri-, tetra-, and penta-nucleotide motifs were consistently co-amplified in five multiplexes in a panel of 91 randomly selected samples. Observed number of alleles varied from 2 to 14 per locus. Observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.090 to 0.79 and 0.08 to 0.87, respectively. Ten loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after sequential Bonferroni correction. Genetic linkage disequilibrium analysis between all pairs of the loci showed significant departure from the null hypothesis between 11 loci. The microsatellite markers were also amplified successfully in related Panulirus homarus species with adequate level of polymorphism. The successful cross-species primer amplification of the 15 microsatellites indicates the potential of the developed markers to be transferred to other Panulirus species. The 15 novel microsatellite markers reported in this work add to the previously characterized markers by our group, exhibit adequate levels of polymorphism for wide range of future studies investigating population structure, genetic diversity, and evolutionary relationships among Panulirus species.
