Development of Twenty-Two Novel Cross-Species Microsatellite Markers for Amur sturgeon ( Acipenser schrenckii ) from Chinese Sturgeon ( Acipenser sinensis ) via next-Generation Sequencing

摘要

In the present study, twenty-two microsatellites was developed for Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii). All of them were polymorphic with 2 to 7 alleles per locus and the total number of alleles is 106. The expected heterozygosity (HE), observed heterozygosity (HO), polymorphic information content (PIC), Hardy-Weinberg departure value (d) and Shannon-Weiner Diversity Indices (H') ranged from 0.35 to 0.84, from 0.46 to 1, from 0.29 to 0.82, from 0.14 to 0.49, and from 0.53 to 1.89 respectively. The microsatellites described here should be useful for the research in population genetics, conservation genetics and evolution of Amur sturgeon.
