Abstract
Chrysosplenium macrophyllum Oliv., belonging to the family Saxifragaceae, is a traditional and unique Chinese herbal medicine. However, the lack of adequate molecular markers has hampered the progress regarding population genetics and evolution within this species. In this research, we used the DNBSEQ-T7 Sequencer (MGI) sequencing assay to analyze the transcriptome profiles of C. macrophyllum. SSR markers were developed on the basis of transcriptomic sequences and further validated on C. macrophyllum and other Chrysosplenium species. The genetic diversity and structure of the 12 populations were analyzed by using polymorphic expressed sequence tag simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers. A potential pool of 3127 non-redundant EST-SSR markers were identified for C. macrophyllum in this study. The developed EST-SSR markers had high amplification rates and cross-species transferability in Chrysosplenium. Our results also showed that the natural populations of C. macrophyllum had a high level of genetic diversity. Genetic distance, principal component analysis, and popular structure analysis revealed that all 60 samples clustered into two major groups that were consistent with their geographical origins. This study provided a batch of highly polymorphic EST-SSR molecular markers that were developed via transcriptome sequencing. These markers will be of great significance for the study of the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of C. macrophyllum and other Chrysosplenium species.

Genetic Diversity Evaluation and Population Structure Analysis of Red Swamp Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) from Lakes and Rice Fields by SSR Markers. FISHES 2022.

Abstract
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is an important aquatic animal and has developed as a popular aquaculture species in China. In this study, a total of 72,839 SSR motifs were identified from transcriptional data, and 20 microsatellite markers of them were finally developed to assess the genetic diversities of seven wild populations from natural lakes and nine cultured populations from rice fields. Genetic diversity was slightly higher in the cultured populations than in the wild populations. The degree of genetic differentiation between cultured populations is slight, while a moderate to a large degree of genetic differentiation between wild populations and most of the variations occurred within individuals (79%). The analysis of cluster, principal coordinate analysis and STRUCTURE were similar, and they showed that isolation-by-distance pattern was not significant. The microsatellite markers developed in this study can not only be used for genetic monitoring of population but also provide important information for the management of breeding and cultured population in red swamp crayfish.
