Identification of transcriptome-derived microsatellite markers and their association with the growth performance of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain).

Microsatellite markers from a transcriptome sequence library were initially isolated, and their genetic variation was characterized in a wild population of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain). We then tested the association between these microsatellite markers and the growth performance of S. paramam...
