Abstract The white-striped longhorn beetle Batocera horsfieldi (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a polyphagous wood-boring pest that causes substantial damage to the lumber, fruit and nut industry. Here, next-generation sequencing was used to generate a whole genome survey dataset to provide fundamental information of its genome and develop genome-wide microsatellite markers for it. The genome size of B. horsfieldi was estimated as approximate 520 Mb by using K-mer analyses, and its heterozygosity ratio and repeat sequence ratio were 0.26% and 51.03%, respectively. The assembled genome was 528.56Mb with GC content of 35.40%. A total of 121750 microsatellite motifs were identified. The most frequent repeat motif was mononucleotide with a frequency of 85.84%, followed by 8.08% of dinonucleotide, 5.04% of trinonucleotide, 0.73% of tetranonucleotide, 0.20% of pentanonucleotide and 0.12% of hexanonucleotide motifs. The AT/AT, TA/TAand GA/TC repeats were the most abundant motifs of dinucleotide motifs, and AAT/ATT, TAA/TTA and ATA/TAT were the most abundant motifs of trinucleotide motifs, respectively. ninety six pairs of SSR primers were randomly selected for PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis detection, among which 56 pairs of primers can be effectively amplified to obtain the target fragment. In summary, various candidate microsatellite markers were identified and characterized in this study using genome survey analysis.

AbstractBig cats (Genus: Panthera) are among the most threatened mammal groups of the world, owing to hunting, habitat loss, and illegal transnational trade. Conservation genetic studies and effective curbs on poaching are important for the conservation of these charismatic apex predators. A limited number of microsatellite markers exists for Panthera species and researchers often cross-amplify domestic cat microsatellites to study these species. We conducted data mining of seven Panthera genome sequences to discover microsatellites for conservation genetic studies of four threatened big cat species. A total of 32 polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in silico and tested with 152 big cats, and were found polymorphic in most of the tested species. We propose a set of 12 novel microsatellite markers for use in conservation genetics and wildlife forensic investigations of big cat species. Cumulatively, these markers have a high discriminatory power of one in a million for unrelated individuals and one in a thousand for siblings. Similar PCR conditions of these markers increase the prospects of achieving efficient multiplex PCR assays. This study is a pioneering attempt to synthesise genome wide microsatellite markers for big cats.

The developed markers were polymorphic in most of the tested species. We propose a set of 15 novel microsatellite markers for use in conservation genetics and wildlife forensic investigations of big cat species. Cumulatively, these markers have a high discriminatory power of one in a million for unrelated individuals and one in a thousand for siblings.

Trematomus loennbergii Regan, 1913, is an evolutionarily important marine fish species distributed in the Antarctic Ocean. However, its genome has not been studied to date. In the present study, whole genome sequencing was performed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to characterize its genome and develop genomic microsatellite markers. The 25-mer frequency distribution was estimated to be the best, and the genome size was predicted to be 815,042,992 bp. The heterozygosity, average rate of read duplication, and sequencing error rates were 0.536%, 0.724%, and 0.292%, respectively. These data were used to analyze microsatellite markers, and a total of 2,264,647 repeat motifs were identified. The most frequent repeat motif was di-nucleotide with 87.00% frequency, followed by tri-nucleotide (10.45%), tetra-nucleotide (1.94%), penta-nucleotide (0.34%), and hexa-nucleotide (0.27%). The AC repeat motif was the most abundant motif among di-nucleotides and among all repeat motifs. Among microsatellite markers, 181 markers were selected and PCR technology was used to validate several markers. A total of 15 markers produced only one band. In summary, these results provide a good basis for further studies, including evolutionary biology studies and population genetics of Antarctic fish species.
