Ploidy status of the marbled crayfish genome. (A) Microsatellite locus PclG-02 in marbled crayfish showing a combination of three alleles of 267 bp, 271 bp and 303 bp fragment length. (B) Flow cytometry of haemocytes of P. fallax (Pf) and marbled crayfish (mc) revealing an approximately 1.4 fold increased DNA content in marbled crayfish. The right panel shows the means±standard deviations (s.d.) of two biological and three technical replicates. Differences are highly significant (P=1.33×10−7, Welsh two-sided t-test).
