| Notes | With the goal of identifying optimal broodstock, the author mapped microsatellites on genes of Olympia oysters and identified the genetic structure of surviving remnant populations of the native oyster. He used microsatellite and AFLP markers to develop an integrated linkage map for the Pacific oyster, and attempted to identify and map genetic sites that influence growth in the Pacific oyster. Co-major professors were Mark D. Camara and Christopher J. Langdon. |
