Abstract
Branchiostoma belcheri Gray is an endangered species A set of twelve novel polymorphic microsatellite loci was developed in B belcheri Gray The polymorphism of these loci was tested on a population of thirty individuals from Xiamen China The number of alleles ranged from 3 to 7 The polymorphism information content ranged from 0309 to 0778 The levels of expected and observed heterozygosities varied from 02449 to 07825 and from 01786 to 08571 respectively Three loci WCY422 WCY439 WCY517 deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium These microsatellite loci would contribute to population genetic studies and conservation of B belcheri GrayThis study was supported by Natural Science Foundation of Fujian Province 2011J01231 the National Natural Science Foundation of China the Program for New Century Excellent Talents in Fujian Province University and the Foundation for Innovative Research Team of Jimei University China No 2010A004
