Development of coding single nucleotide polymorphic markers in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata based on next-generation sequencing and high-resolution melting analysis.

Abstract excerpt

The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata is an important commercial marine shellfish that is cultured for producing saltwater pearls. In this study, 468 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were screened from P. fucata transcriptome data, and 119 polymorphic SNPs were successfully isolated by a two-step small-amplicon high-resolution melting assay. Of these, 88 were annotated with BLAST in the Nr database and 90 were...
