Researchers in fish biology have used NGS to discover novel genetic markers for population and traceability studies.
Here, we used DNA sequencing to confirm the taxonomic identity of several populations used for biological control worldwide, and developed microsatellite markers for population genetics studies.
Fifty three SSR markers for population structure and kinship analysis.
Similarly, Ali et al. ([2011]) also showed that a subset of 36 SSR markers gave nearly the same results as using 169 SSR markers for population structure analysis.
The development of new sequencing technologies has made it practical to use DNA sequencing technology for directly obtaining single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for population genotyping [11] [13].
The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (COI) gene is one of the most popular markers for population genetic and phylogeographic studies across the animal kingdom [16].
Based on our data, and experience with a range of C. maenas microsatellite markers derived from geographically disparate populations, we anticipate that the combination of the current loci together with those of Tepolt et al. [26] and Darling et al. [13] will facilitate the application of an appropriately robust panel of informative polymorphic markers for population genetic studies.
SSRs are useful as random markers for population genetics research.
Chase, M., Kesseli, R. & Bawa, K. S. (1996) Microsatellite markers for population and conservation genetics of tropical trees.
Random candidate markers for population genetic studies can also be derived from simple sequence repeats (SSRs).
SSRs, primarily microsatellites, are used commonly as genetic markers for population level studies.
