Identification of microsatellite markers and their application in yellow catfish ( Richardson, 1846) population genetics of Korea.

Microsatellite markers from a fresh water yellow catfish, , were developed by whole-genome sequencing in the Ion S5 system. Of the 40 chosen sets of microsatellite markers, with tetra-repeat and penta-repeat motifs, from a total 19,743 sequence, only 13 markers were successfully applied in 78 individual fish sampled to detect genomic variability from four natural populations of Korea. On an average, the number of alleles per marker was 6.
