Microsatellite loci are popular molecular markers due to their resolution in distinguishing individual genotypes.

We developed microsatellite loci for the haploid-diploid red seaweed Gracilaria vermiculophylla, a widespread non-native species in coastal estuaries of the Northern hemisphere. Forty-two l ...[more]
