Abstract

These files support the publication "Multiple lineages of transmissible neoplasia in the basket cockle (C. nuttallii) with repeated horizontal transfer of mitochondrial DNA," which has been submitted to bioRxiv (doi:10.1101/2023.10.11.561945). Details of locations and dates of cockle collection, specific primer sequences, methods for design of the primers, and analysis of results can be found there. These files are fragment analysis files from microsatellite analysis of samples of the baske...

Microsatellites were amplified from DNA extracted from both hemocyte and tissue using Taq polymerase (Genesee Scientific) for a select number of basket cockles (Clinocardium nuttallii, urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:381980) colelcted from multipl intertidal locations in Washington State, USA. All possible neoplastic animals based on positive qPCR screen (n=26) and one randomly selected, non-neoplastic animal from each collection (n=12) were selected for microsatellite amplification and fragment analysis. Microsatellites were amplified using primers for 8 polymorphic loci: Cnu48, Cnu55, Cnu58, Cnu63, Cnu68, Cnu72, Cnu78, and Cnu81. 

Instrument Description: Allele sizes were identified by fragment analysis using fluorescent primers (6-FAM, PET, NED, and VIC) and a 3730xl Genetic Analyzer with the LIZ-500 size standard.
