Variable microsatellite loci in red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, and their characterization in other crayfish taxa

Previous work using allozymes found low levels of genetic variation in two Procambrus species, including P. clarkii (Busack 1988). We developed two microsatellite libraries for P. clarkii (f. Cambaridae) from which 23 variable microsatellite loci were optimized. The 18 clearest markers were tested i...

Zusammenfassung:Previous work using allozymes found low levels of genetic variation in two Procambrus species, including P. clarkii (Busack 1988). We developed two microsatellite libraries for P. clarkii (f. Cambaridae) from which 23 variable microsatellite loci were optimized. The 18 clearest markers were tested in representative taxa of the other two crayfish families (Parastacidae and Astacidae), as well as two cambarid species in Orconectes and one congeneric species; characterization is reported here.
