Z. B. Li, Ning, Y. F., Shangguan, J. B., Li, B. B., Mao, X. Q., Huang, Y. S., Yuan, Y., Li, Z. B., Ning, Y. F., Shangguan, J. B., Li, B. B., Mao, X. Q., Huang, Y. S., and Yuan, Y., “Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers in Ruditapes philippinarum”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Ruditapes philippinarum is considered a commercially valuable species, which is commonly found in tidal flats along West Pacific coasts. In China, it is mainly distributed in the southeast sea. In this study, 16 novel microsatellite loci from the R. philippinarum genome were developed, using the protocol of fast isolation by amplified fragment length polymorphism of sequence containing repeats. Thirty-two wild-caught individuals were used to evaluate the degree of polymorphism of these markers.

Genetic differentiation between natural and hatchery populations of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) based on microsatellite markers

K. Xing, Gao, M. L., and Li, H. J., “Genetic differentiation between natural and hatchery populations of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) based on microsatellite markers”, vol. 13, pp. 237-245, 2014.

Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is one of the major aquaculture species around the world and supports an important segment of the aquaculture industry in China. In this study, we used ten microsatellite markers to detect genetic diversity within six R. philippinarum populations and genetic differentiation between them. A total of 109 alleles were detected across all loci.

New polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Korean manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and their application to wild populations

E. M. Kim, An, H. S., Kang, J. H., An, C. M., Dong, C. M., Hong, Y. K., and Park, J. Y., “New polymorphic microsatellite markers for the Korean manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) and their application to wild populations”, vol. 13, pp. 8163-8173, 2014.

Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) is a valuable and intensively exploited shellfish species in Korea. Despite its importance, information on its genetic background is scarce. For the genetic characterization of R. philippinarum, expressed sequence tag-derived microsatellite markers were developed using next-generation sequencing. A total of 5879 tandem repeats containing di- to hexanucleotide repeat motifs were obtained from 236,746 reads (mean = 413 bp).
