PERMANENT GENETIC RESOURCES: Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci from the Arctic cisco ( Coregonus autumnalis)

Abstract Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the Arctic cisco, Coregonus autumnalis . Loci were evaluated in 21 samples from the Colville River subsistence fishery. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 18. Observed heterozygosity of loci varied fro...

Description
Summary:Abstract Eight polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized for the Arctic cisco, Coregonus autumnalis . Loci were evaluated in 21 samples from the Colville River subsistence fishery. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to 18. Observed heterozygosity of loci varied from 0.10 to 1.00, and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.09 to 0.92. All eight microsatellite markers were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The loci presented here will be useful in describing population structure and exploring populations of origin for Arctic cisco.
