Abstract
An Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) expressed sequence tag (EST) database consisting of 58 146 ESTs was screened for microsatellite sequences. Subsequent development of 75 polymorphic EST-associated microsatellite markers in this species is described together with cross-species amplification results of 133 gene-associated tandem repeat markers in five salmonid species (Salmo trutta, Oncorhynchus mykiss, Salvelinus aplinus, Thymallus thymallus, Coregonus lavaretus). The number of alleles among EST-linked microsatellites in Atlantic salmon ranged from two to 41 with an average of 12 alleles per locus. Cross-species amplification resulted in detection of a total of ill polymorphic locus-species combinations (12-32 loci per species).
