Abstract
Studies on simple DNA extraction methods from fish mucus, which is an ideal resource for noninvasive sampling, are scarce. In the aquaculture of sturgeons such as sterlets (Acipenser ruthenus), a high-throughput genetic sexing method is needed, as only females are reared to maturity for their roe. Here, DNA extraction methods using HotSHOT (hot sodium hydroxide and tris), a novel alkaline dip, alkaline glycol, and water were compared using the skin mucus of sterlets (n = 8) collected with a toothpick. High-throughput sexing of sterlets from six production batches (n = 3953) was also evaluated using HotSHOT or alkaline dip. An alkaline dip with 10-25 mM NaOH was an effective alternative to HotSHOT, eliminating the heating and neutralizing steps. Regarding high-throughput sexing, > 99% (3946) individuals were successfully genotyped on the first PCR trial, and genotype ratios of each batch were close to 1:1, showing applicability of the alkaline dip method for practical sterlet sexing.
期刊介绍：
BioTechniques is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original laboratory methods, related technical and software tools, and methods-oriented review articles that are of broad interest to professional life scientists, as well as to scientists from other disciplines (e.g., chemistry, physics, computer science, plant and agricultural science and climate science) interested in life science applications for their technologies.
Since 1983, BioTechniques has been a leading peer-reviewed journal for methods-related research. The journal considers:
Reports describing innovative new methods, platforms and software, substantive modifications to existing methods, or innovative applications of existing methods, techniques & tools to new models or scientific questions
Descriptions of technical tools that facilitate the design or performance of experiments or data analysis, such as software and simple laboratory devices
Surveys of technical approaches related to broad fields of research
Reviews discussing advancements in techniques and methods related to broad fields of research
Letters to the Editor and Expert Opinions highlighting interesting observations or cautionary tales concerning experimental design, methodology or analysis.
