Characterization of transferrin‐linked microsatellites in brown trout ( Salmo trutta) and Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar)
Abstract The transferrin ( TF ) gene has recently received increased interest in fish given its fitness relevance as a resistance gene against pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we characterized five TF ‐linked microsatellites in brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) and Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ). Int...

| Summary: | Abstract The transferrin ( TF ) gene has recently received increased interest in fish given its fitness relevance as a resistance gene against pathogenic bacteria. In this study, we characterized five TF ‐linked microsatellites in brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) and Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ). Interestingly, each marker amplified duplicated loci and linkage analysis revealed that the TF gene has most likely experienced a tandem duplication during salmonid evolution. In addition, the amplification of all five markers across a wide range of salmonid species suggests that they may be of general interest for the genetic analysis of the TF gene(s) in this teleost family. |
