Polymorphic microsatellite loci for population studies of the Japanese scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis

Abstract Fifteen microsatellite loci were developed to examine the population structure of Japanese scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis . These markers were tested in samples from two geographically distant populations: the Sakhalin Island (Russia) and Dalian City (China). The mean numbers of alleles,...

Description
Summary:Abstract Fifteen microsatellite loci were developed to examine the population structure of Japanese scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis . These markers were tested in samples from two geographically distant populations: the Sakhalin Island (Russia) and Dalian City (China). The mean numbers of alleles, observed and expected heterozygosities between the two populations were summarized by locus, but none of them show significant divergence between the two populations. Most loci conformed to Hardy–Weinberg expectation with the exception of loci HLJX‐06, HLJX‐12, HLJX‐13 and HLJX‐28, which had heterozygote deficits.
