Add to ORKGNot AvailableSuccessful cross-species amplification of microsatellites of a particular locus in Labeo rohita using primers of specific microsatellite loci from Catla catla is reported. This is the first report on amplification of microsatellites in Labeo rohita. The locus was found to be polymorphic (p<0.95) in the samples from the two rivers, Satlej and Rapti belonging to different river systems of Indus and Ganges rivers and a total of 4 alleles were found. This validates the utility of the microsatellite locus for screening genetic variability in wild stocks of L. rohita.Not Availabl
