ABSTRACT
Background:
Microsatellite loci often used as a genetic tool for estimating genetic diversity population variation in a wide variety of different species. The application of microsatellite markers in genetics and breeding includes investigating the genetic differentiation of wild and cultured populations, assessing and determining the genetic relationship of different populations. The aim of this work is to develop several microsatellite markers via highthroughput sequencing and characterize these markers in commercially important bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum.Results:
Among the two populations of R. philippinarum studied, 110 alleles were detected. The number of alleles at the cultured population ranged from 3 to 17 (mean NA = 6.897) and wild population ranged from 2 to 15 (mean NA = 6.793). The observed and expected heterozygosities of cultured population ranged from 0.182 to 0.964, and from 0.286 to 0.900, with an average of 0.647 and 0.692, respectively. The observed and expected heterozygosities of wild population ranged from 0.138 to 1.000, and from 0.439 to 0.906, with an average of 0.674 and 0.693, respectively. The polymorphism information content ranged from 0.341 to 0.910 with an average of 0.687. Sixteen and thirteen microsatellite loci deviated significantly from HardyWeinberg equilibrium after correction for multiple tests in cultured and wild population, respectively.Conclusions:
Twenty-nine novel microsatellite loci were developed using Illumina paired-end shotgun sequencing and characterized in two population of R. philippinarum.Key words
