The Lactate Dehydrogenase Gene LDH-C1, a New Molecular Marker for Phylogenetic Analysis of Salmonid Fishes (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae)

We tested the locus of the nuclear lactate dehydrogenase gene ( LDH-C1 ) as a phylogenetic marker in specimens of 11 salmonid genera ( Thymallus, Coregonus, Hucho, Brachymystax, Salmo, Salmothymus, Acantholingua, Parahucho, Salvelinus, Parasalmo , and Oncorhynchus ). All the sequences were veracious...

Summary:We tested the locus of the nuclear lactate dehydrogenase gene ( LDH-C1 ) as a phylogenetic marker in specimens of 11 salmonid genera ( Thymallus, Coregonus, Hucho, Brachymystax, Salmo, Salmothymus, Acantholingua, Parahucho, Salvelinus, Parasalmo , and Oncorhynchus ). All the sequences were veraciously clustered according to their taxonomic affiliation at the species and genus levels. It is shown that used complex of characters contains a phylogenetic signal that represents specific information about the phylogenesis process. This allows us to recommend the LDH-C1 locus to specify the phylogeny of salmonids in the combined analysis of several independent nuclear genes and mitochondrial DNA.
