Mitochondrial genetic variations in fishes of the genus Carassius from South Korea: proximity to northern China rather than Japanese Islands?

Population Genetic Structure of Carassius auratus (Pisces: Cypriniformes) in South Korea Inferred from AFLP Markers: Discordance with Mitochondrial Genetic Structure

“…A recent study on the mitochondrial genetic variation of the Korean Carassius population revealed that there are 3 mitochondrial genetic lineages (pgA, pgB, and pgC) (Jung et al, 2009). Of these, pgA and pgB are distributed over westward rivers and southward rivers, respectively, indicating that mitochondrial genetic variation is geographically structured in South Korea.…”

“…Second, there has possibly been gene flow between populations of westward rivers and southward rivers, which may keep AFLP genetic variations from being sorted between these groups. It is suggested that river capture between river systems has taken place, from the result of mitochondrial genetic variation (Jung et al, 2009). As these two factors are not mutually exclusive, both may have influenced the shaping of these patterns.…”

“…However, further information has come to light in a more recent study of mitochondrial genetic variation of Carassius populations in South Korea (Jung et al, 2009). Korean populations are composed of 3 mitochondrial genetic lineages, and two of them are geographically structured over westward rivers and southward rivers.…”

“…In this study, we analyzed the genetic structure of Korean Carassius populations using AFLP genetic polymorphism, and compare the results with those of Jung et al (2009), in which mitochondrial genetic variation was investigated.…”

Testing microsatellite loci and preliminary genetic study for Eurasian otter in South Korea

“…PCR amplification was performed using GeneAmp 9700 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and control region and 16S ribosomal RNA gene region in mitochondrial genome were amplified using primer set of LCO-1490 and HCO-2198 (Folmer et al, 1994), 16SAR-SF and 16SBR-SF (Palumbi et al, 1991), and mtCONF and mtCONR (Jung et al, 2009). The total of 25 μL of reaction mixtures were composed of 1 μL of template DNA, 0.5 μL of each primer (10 μM), 1.0 μL of dNTP solution (10 mM), 2.5 μL of Taq buffer (10X), 0.2 μL of Taq DNA polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI), and 16.8 μL of distilled water (DW).…”
