A set of polymorphic trinucleotide and tetranucleotide microsatellite markers for silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) and cross-amplification in crucian carp.
Silver crucian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio Bloch), as a gynogenetic fish, is a promising model for the study of the evolutionary genetics of vertebrates. We have developed 59 polymorphic trinucleotide and tetranucleotide markers for the silver crucian carp through the biotin capture method and radioactive-labeling hybridization. The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 12 in the population, and the average proportion of heterozygotes (including tri- and diallelic) at polymorphic loci was 76.8%. In addition, these loci were successfully applied to a close relative, the crucian carp (Carassius auratus), by cross-amplification, as shown by the range of alleles (2-19), observed heterozygosity (0.1765-0.9706), expected heterozygosity (0.2392-0.9421), and polymorphism information content (0.2186-0.9236).
