Genetic diversity of horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas) in Malaysia revealed using microsatellite markers

The genetic structure of horseshoe crab (Tachypleus gigas) populations were examined using 18 microsatellite markers. Samples were collected from 2 stations of east coast of Peninsular Malaysia and one station from East Malaysia. All the observed allelic frequency showed no significant variation bet...
