DNA extraction from recently fertilised Atlantic salmon embryos for use in microsatellite validation of triploidy
The current methods used for producing triploid Atlantic salmon are generally reliable but not infallible, and each batch of triploids must be validated to ensure consumer trust and licensing compliance. Microsatellites have recently been shown to offer a cheaper and more convenient alternative to t...
