Abstract
Microsatellites or single sequence repeats (SSRs) are widespread in the genome of eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and are usually used for studying genetic diversity and constructing the genetic map. The distribution characteristics and effective markers of microsatellites in the Gobiidae family were still unclearly. In this study, genomes of 16 Gobiidae fish were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and Ensembl Genomes databases which were analyzed by bioinformatics. The content of microsatellites for Gobiidae fish occurred differently and the coverage degree varied from 0.12 to 2.36%. The total number of microsatellites ranged from 288 730 to 846 829 and the total sequence length ranged from 515 577 to 1 561 092. The mononucleotide repeats were the most common types in the microsatellites for 13 Gobiidae fish, but dinucleotide repeats were most common for Acanthogobius ommaturus, Chaenogobius annularis and Eucyclogobius newberryi. Moreover, the frequency of microsatellite motifs varied in Gobiidae fish. Within the dinucleotide repeats, the AC/GT was the most abundant microsatellite of 13 Gobiidae fish, while the most dinucleotide repeat was AG/CT of Lythrypnus dalli, Lesueurigobius sanzi and Rhinogobius similis. Our study suggested that the distribution and characteristics of microsatellites are various in these Gobiidae genomes, which may be related to the genome diversity of Gobiidae. The data could not only provide new insights into the studies of genetic evolution but also provide powerful support for the development of more microsatellites of Gobiidae.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Genetics is a journal intended to make significant contribution to the development of genetics. The journal publishes reviews and experimental papers in the areas of theoretical and applied genetics. It presents fundamental research on genetic processes at molecular, cell, organism, and population levels, including problems of the conservation and rational management of genetic resources and the functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and medical genetics.
