There is a growing need to develop microsatellites promoting its genetic research for the adequate management of this ?shery resources. The recently developed speci?c-locus ampli?ed fragment sequencing(SLAF-seq) is an effcient and high-resolution method for genome-wide microsatellite markers discovery. In this study, 28 905 microsatellites(mono-to hexa-nucleotide repeats) were identi?ed using SLAF-seq technology, of which di-nucleotide was the most frequent(13 590, 47.02%), followed by mono-nucleotide(8 138, 28.15%), tri-nucleotide(5 727, 19.81%), tetra-nucleotide(1 104, 3.82%), pentanucleotide(234, 0.81%), and hexa-nucleotide(112, 0.39%). One hundred and thirty-two microsatellite loci(di-and tri-nucleotide) were randomly selected for ampli?cation and polymorphism, of which 49 were highly polymorphic and well-resolved. The average number of alleles per locus was 13.63, ranging from 4 to 25, and allele sizes varied between 110 bp and 309 bp. The observed heterozygosity( Ho) and expected heterozygosity( He) ranged from 0.233 to 1.000 and from 0.374 to 0.959, with mean values of 0.738 and0.836, respectively. The polymorphism information content(PIC) ranged from 0.341 to 0.941(mean=0.806).However, 12 loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Furthermore, transferability tests were also successful in validating the utility of the developed markers in ?ve phylogenetically related species of family Carangidae. A total of 48 microsatellite markers were successfully cross-ampli?ed in Decapterus macarellus, Decapterus macrosoma, Decapterus kurroides, Trachurus japonicus, and Selaroides leptolepis.The present microsatellites provided the ?rst known set of microsatellite DNA markers for D. maruadsi,D. macarellus, D. kurroides, and D. macrosoma, and would be useful for further population genetic and molecular phylogeny studies as well as help with the ?sheries management formulation and implementation of the understudied species.展开更多

Of the twenty-four polymorphic loci tested, eighteen were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after a modified false discovery rate(B-Y FDR) correction, whereas six showed statistically significant deviations(CHS2 and CHS11: P <0.014 790; FCS1, FCS6, FCS8 and FCS14: P <0.015 377). Furthermore, four species of plesiomorphous and related sea cucumbers(Holothurian scabra, Holothuria leucospilota, Stichopus horrens and Apostichopus japonicas) were tested for mutual cross-amplification using a total of ninety microsatellite loci. Although transferability and universality of all loci were generally low, the results of the cross-species study showed that the markers can be applied to identify individuals to species according to the presence or absence of specific microsatellite alleles. The microsatellite markers reported here will contribute to the study of genetic diversity, assisted breeding, and population conservation in sea cucumbers, as well as allow for the identification of individuals to closely related species.展开更多
