Abstract
A set of 18 polymorphic microsatellite markers were isolated and characterized for the Babylonia lutosa using a next generation sequencing approach. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 7. The observed, expected heterozygosities and polymorphic information content per locus varied from 0.0392 to 0.8253, 0.0388 to 0.8216 and 0.0377 to 0.7879, respectively. Significant linkage disequilibrium and deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg disequilibrium between three pairs of loci were found. These loci will be beneficial for the population genetic structure investigation and marker assisted breeding for B. lutosa.
