| characterization of microsatellite markers in homarus (crustacea, decapoda). | three variable microsatellite loci have been isolated from the american lobster, homarus americanus. in a population sample from the gulf of maine, the effective numbers of alleles (ne) for the two most variable loci were 16.33 and 13.19, respectively. reduced variability at all three loci was seen in the european lobster, h. gammarus, for which the maximum ne was 4.00. the reduction in variability in h. gammarus is consistent with a bottleneck event. inheritance analysis using h. americanus dem ... | 1996 | 8817929 |
