Article Synopsis
  • The study conducted a genome survey of the fish species Sillago sihama using Illumina sequencing, yielding a clean genome size of 522.6 Mb with detailed genetic characteristics.
  • A total of 630,028 microsatellites were identified, with dinucleotide repeats being the most common, and 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for studying a wild population of this species.
  • Statistical analysis revealed a range of genetic diversity in terms of allele numbers and heterozygosity, with several loci showing significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicating a rich resource for future genetic research on S. sihama.
