Multiplex pre-amplification for noninvasive genetic sampling: is the extra effort worth it?

abstract：:A microsatellite-enriched genomic library was developed for the water flea Daphnia atkinsoni Baird, 1859, a dominant species of intermittent wetlands in Europe. Eight polymorphic microsatellite markers were successfully optimized. Characterization of 77 individuals from Belgium and Spain showed moderate (in the former...
