Characterization of microsatellite loci in sea urchins ( Strongylocentrotus spp.)

Abstract We present six dinucleotide repeats that were developed and characterized in Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and also tested in S. purpuratus . Four of these loci are polymorphic in S. droebachiensis (13–20 alleles, N = 100) and five are polymorphic in S. purpuratus (5–12 alleles, N = 10)...

Description
Summary:Abstract We present six dinucleotide repeats that were developed and characterized in Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis and also tested in S. purpuratus . Four of these loci are polymorphic in S. droebachiensis (13–20 alleles, N = 100) and five are polymorphic in S. purpuratus (5–12 alleles, N = 10). We are currently using these markers to investigate the population substructure of shallow water populations of S. droebachiensis in the north Atlantic.
