A microsatellite locus has more than one copy in the genome of two tilapia species (Oreochromis aureus and O. niloticus)

Linkage maps were recently constructed using microsatellites for the economically important tilapia species Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus x Red O. niloticus hybrids. UNH111 is one of the markers mapped in both studies. We found evidence to suggest that UNH111 primers amplify more than one copy...

Description
Summary:Linkage maps were recently constructed using microsatellites for the economically important tilapia species Oreochromis niloticus and O. aureus x Red O. niloticus hybrids. UNH111 is one of the markers mapped in both studies. We found evidence to suggest that UNH111 primers amplify more than one copy in the haploid genomes of O. aureus and O. niloticus.
