Primers for sequence characterization and polymorphism detection in the Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar) growth hormone 1 ( GH1) gene

Abstract We report the identification of intraspecific sequence variation in the Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) growth hormone 1 gene. Rapid and inexpensive assays for polymorphism detection were developed for 10 sites. Five of the assays detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using polyme...

Description
Summary:Abstract We report the identification of intraspecific sequence variation in the Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) growth hormone 1 gene. Rapid and inexpensive assays for polymorphism detection were developed for 10 sites. Five of the assays detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) analyses, and five were indel polymorphisms, detected using fragment length analyses. The average within population frequency of the most common allele varied from 0.52 to 0.90, and the average within population heterozygosity varied from 0.02 to 0.37 in seven European salmon populations.
