Microsatellite development for a tetrodotoxin-containing sea slug (Pleurobranchaea maculata)
Using 454 pyrosequencing data, 24 polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified for the grey side-gilled sea slug, Pleurobranchaea maculata. The grey side-gilled sea slug is found throughout the western and south Pacific and is known to contain high
