Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of four species of sea cucumber from Geomun-do, Korea

The random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis of four sea cucumbers, Holothuria pardalis, H. monacaria, Stichopus japonicus and Cucumaria chronhjelmi from Geomun-do was performed. Ten primers of 10-mer arbitrary primer kit were used for PCR. Similarity was calculated by Jaccard’s equation. The band pattern was different in three of ten primers. The similarity between S. japonicus and C. chronhjelmi, H.pardalis and C. chronhjelmi, S. japonicus and H. monacaria, S. japonicus and H. pardalis, H. monacaria and C. chronhjelmi, and H. pardalis and H. monacaria was 0.42, 0.55, 0.63, 0.68 and 0.85, respectively.
