A multiplex microsatellite PCR method for evaluating genetic diversity in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)

Grass carp is one of the most important cultured fishes all over the world. The genetic diversity of grass carp plays an important role whatever in selective breeding progress or ecological conservation purposes. However, some genetic diversity researches were not accuracy and cannot be compared with each other due to different molecular markers, sample size and detection methods. In this study, we constructed five multiplex PCR assays contained...
