Consensus sequence of the SSUsat monomers from Spisula subtruncata. On the basis of the DNA sequences of the recovered SSUsat monomers from Spisula subtruncata genome, a consensus sequence was derived. Restriction sites for MspI/HpaII, PvuII and TaqI are underlined. Green and red arrows indicate the positions of PCR primers used for SSUsat amplification in related species.
