A set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) was developed from the transcriptome of the gorgonian Leptogorgia sarmentosa. 21,491 putative SNPs were identified, and a selected set of 320 SNPs was tested using a MassARRAY System on 95 samples from the NW Mediterranean. A total of 153 SNPs were successfully genotyped and found to be polymorphic. The newly developed loci will be a valuable tool for population genetics studies of one of the most ubiquitous gorgonian species in the Mediterranean Sea.

地中海柳杉种群遗传学研究中 SNP 标记的鉴定

一组单核苷酸多态性 (SNP) 是从柳珊瑚Leptogorgia sarmentosa的转录组发展而来的。确定了 21,491 个推定的 SNP，并使用 MassARRAY 系统对来自西北地中海的 95 个样本测试了一组选定的 320 个 SNP。总共有 153 个 SNP 被成功地基因分型并发现是多态的。新开发的基因座将成为地中海最普遍的柳珊瑚物种之一的种群遗传学研究的宝贵工具。
