Japan Republic of China India Genetic Identification of Oyster Species Based on PCR-RFLP Analysis of ITS-1 and COI Gene Regions Jan Cordes, Julie Stubbs, and Kimberly Reece Department of Environmental and Aquatic Animal Health Virginia Institute of Marine Science College of William and Mary
Background • Traditional species identification and taxonomy of Crassostrea and related oysters • based on highly variable, environmentally influenced morphometric characters • Existing molecular genetic keys usually include a relatively small number of species • Unable to rely on correct identification of samples sent from the field, especially • when receiving samples from widely separated locations • This can greatly impact emerging efforts to introduce exotic oyster species into U.S. • waters
Saccostrea cucullata S. commercialis Lopha cristigalli Crassostrea virginica C. iredalei C. gryphoides C. madrasensis C. belcheri C. gigas C. plicatula C. sikamea C. ariakensis Objectives • Construct a reliable genetic key for 12 species of commercially important oysters • Base key on at least one nuclear and one mitochondrial marker • Base key on PCR/RFLP analysis to simplify use and reduce amount of tissue needed • Optimize the RFLP analysis to minimize the number of restriction enzymes needed • for complete differentiation of all 12 species
Protocols • Since DNA from type specimens is not available, chose voucher samples from our archives based on phylogenetic analyses • PCR amplified ITS-1(Hedgecock et al. 1999) and COI (Folmer et al. 1994) gene regions using • published primers in 20-60 individuals of each target species • Sequenced and aligned PCR products for the 12 putative species of oysters (representative • sequences from GenBank were included when possible) • Identified the restriction enzyme(s) that distinguished among the largest number of species • for each marker via virtual digestions using MacVector • Tested the restriction enzymes identified as informative by traditional RFLP • analysis using agarose gels

Next Steps • Verify utility of Bgl II and TspR I restriction enzymes and complete COI species key • Refine species phylogenies by obtaining additional samples for questionable (C. iredalei • from China, C. ariakensis from Malaysia, and C. rivularis from India) and missing (i.e. • C. rhizophorae) species • Compile tables with species-specific band patterns for each marker along with gel • images and create an easy-to-follow genetic key that can be made available to others • (perhaps via a website)
Applications • Test accuracies of species identifications in archived samples currently housed in • our laboratory • Verify species identities of samples sent to us from other researchers • Verify species identity of samples collected in the field for new project using • microsatellite markers to investigate genetic variation in native and hatchery • populations of C. ariakensis
