Abstract
Flounder fish Cyclopsetta fimbriata and Syacium papillosum (Family: Paralichidae) inhabit the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) where there is a constant menace of oil spill events. Both can be sentinel species for pollutants associated with human activities, but the absence of markers has hampered their genetic studies. In this study we constructed two de novo transcriptomes of C. fimbriata and S. papillosum collected at 40–100 m below the sea surface and were used to develop microsatellite markers. A total of 42,273,686 and 38,304,544 raw reads were obtained for C. fimbriata and S. papillosum. After cleaning, we recovered 25,087,948 (59.3 %) reads with Q value >30 for S. papillosum and 22,062,086 (50 %) reads with Q value >30 for C. fimbriata. The transcriptome of C. fimbriata had 69,333 transcripts with an average GC content of 47.68 %. The length of contigs ranged from 248 bp to 15,452 bp, with an N50 length of 1608 bp. The S. papillosum transcriptome had 75,623 transcripts with an average GC content of 48.27 % with a length of contigs ranging from 181 bp to 16,638 bp, with an N50 length of 1582 bp. Then, 38 microsatellite loci for C. fimbriata and 40 microsatellite loci for S. papillosum were tested on 30 individuals of each species and 20 polymorphic microsatellite loci (50 %) were obtained for S. papillosum and 13 (34.21 %) for C. fimbriata. The Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values were 0.8 for C. fimbriata and 0.9 for S. papillosum. Their utility for subsequent genetic population studies is discussed.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
