Measurement data and photos were collected by J. Y. Full size image Results Linkage map The linkage map used in this study included 14,998 unique SNP markers distributed across 21 LGs matching the expected number of chromosomes (2n = 42;55) in the nine-spined stickleback, and was ...
further pooled in equimolar amounts based on qPCR relative quantification. The final pooled library underwent automated size selection with Pippin Prep (Sage Science) before conducting 100-bp single-end sequencing on an Illumina NovaSeq S1 flow cell at the University of Texas at Austin’s Genome ...
Similarly to three-spined sticklebacks, freshwater populations of nine-spined sticklebacks have repeatedly and independently evolved deeper bodies, reduced armor, shorter caudal peduncles, smaller brains, and different behavioral characteristics as compared to 1College of Animal Science and Technology, ...
