Abstract

A set of 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms selected for both confirming Salmo trutta identity and distinguishing the six European evolutionary lineages were included in a multiplex single-base primer extension assay to confidently assign brown trout ancient DNA to one of the six European haplogroups. The assignment rate reaches 75% for brown trout scales collected 40 years ago.
