Characterization of 12 highly variable tetranucleotide microsatellite loci for Arctic grayling ( Thymallus arcticus ) and cross amplification in other Thymallus species

Abstract We describe the isolation and development of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite loci for Arctic grayling ( Thymallus arcticus ). In a sample of 46 fish, we observed between three and 20 alleles per locus. All 12 of these loci were also polymorphic in at least one of the following...

Description
Summary:Abstract We describe the isolation and development of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite loci for Arctic grayling ( Thymallus arcticus ). In a sample of 46 fish, we observed between three and 20 alleles per locus. All 12 of these loci were also polymorphic in at least one of the following Thymallus species and subspecies: T. burejensis, T. amurensis, T. thymallus, T. brevirostris, T. grubii, T. arcticus baicalensis and T. arcticus pallasi . These loci will aid in our understanding of the population genetics, behaviour and conservation of grayling species throughout the northern hemisphere.
