Analyzing nuclear and mitochondrial genetic diversity in the Alaska Blackfish (Dallia pectoralis) Rachel DeWilde University of Alaska Fairbanks EPSCoR All-Hands Meeting 2011
Overview • The Alaska Blackfish • Genetic Analysis • Sequencing Mitochondrial DNA • Microsatellites • Genotyping Microsatellites • 454 sequencing • Developing primer candidates
The Alaska Blackfish Fresh water fish Poor swimmers Short life span Prefer shallow vegetated habitats
Geographic Barriers • Brooks range • Yukon River • Tanana River
Collection Localities North Slope: 2 Interior: 4 Coast: 8 Russia: 3 =17 Sampling sites 24 24 sampling locations
Interior Coast Russia North Slope Sequencing mtDNA Coast Naknek: 10 Galena: 17 Galena Coast

Genotyping Microsatellites Dinucleotide differences: North Slope & Russia 1 repeat North Slope & Interior 3 repeats North Slope & Galena 5 repeats [at most]
Developing Microsatellites Using 454 Sequencing Initial study: 2009 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci 7,000 microsatellites -66% -33% =10-100 microsatellites
Primer Design Process 1. Extract DNA from one individual 2. Check DNA quality 3. Export to facility 4. Filter sequence results 1. Fresh Fairbanks Fish 2. Nanodrop 3. Duke genome sequencing and analysis facility 4. Msatcommander
