Abstract:: Low copy number anonymous nuclear loci were used to search for species markers in four species of Klamath Basin suckers. We sequenced 28 randomly chosen loci representing 10,421 bp; 21 loci were similar to sequences in GenBank. Eight fixed sequence differences were found among Klamath species. Locus 120 contained rare...
