Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)- and capillary electrophoresis (CE)-derived genomic data give comparable genetic diversity measures. Total 70 samples of a captive population of fine flounder (Paralichthys adspersus) were genotyped for five microsatellite loci using PAGE and CE methods, and the genetic diversity levels obtained from both genomic datasets were compared. a-f Violin plots with included boxplots summarizing the data distribution of different genetic diversity parameters. g Violin plots with included boxplots summarizing the distribution of null allele frequencies. Each box plot shows the median (middle line) and interquartile range (boxes). The bottom and top of each box indicate the 25th and 75th percentiles, while whiskers represent the minimum and maximum. h Allele frequency spectra of the five microsatellite loci used. Statistical analysis was performed using unpaired t tests.
