Genetic study Ameiurus sp. in Flanders and neighbouring regions

Archived data
Availability: Unrestricted after moratorium period
Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed

Description
The dataset contains genetic data from Ameiurus specimens collected in Flanders, Wallonia, France and the Netherlands. more

The dataset contains data from Ameiurus specimens collected in Flanders, Wallonia, France and the Netherlands. Fin clips from these specimens were prepared for genetic analysis (DNA amplicfication followed by sequence reaction). To clear the uncertainty about the identification of A. melas and A. nebulosus in Flanders we sampled Ameiurus fin clips from eleven sites in Flanders, and for comparison one in Wallonia, three in The Netherlands and one in France for genetic study. A 650 basepair fragment of the 5’ end of the mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase I (COI) gene (bar-coding region) was analysed using universal COI primer cocktails with M13 tails. For species identification, the obtained sequences were compared to published sequences in Genbank.
