BACKGROUND: Meretrix petechialis is one of the commercially important marine bivalves. In this study, we selected six highly polymorphic EST-derived microsatellite markers to assess the genetic diversity and population differentiation on nine wild populations of Meretrix petechialis. RESULTS: The number ...

The genetic diversity of wild and cultivated Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) revealed by 29 novel microsatellite markers

Background: Microsatellite loci often used as a genetic tool for estimating genetic diversity population variation in a wide variety of different species. The application of microsatellite markers in genetics and breeding includes investigating the genetic differentiation of wild and cultured populations...
