Development of a panel of SNP loci in the emblematic southern damselfly (Coenagrion mercuriale) using a hybrid method: pitfalls and recommendations for large-scale SNP genotyping in a nonmodel endangered species.

Abstract excerpt

Genomic markers are essential tools for studying species of conservation concern, yet nonmodel species often lack a reference genome. Here we describe a methodology for identifying and genotyping thousands of SNP loci in the southern damselfly (Coenagrion mercuriale), a bioindicator of freshwater stream quality classified as near-threatened, with locally declining populations. We used a hybrid approach combining...
