Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is widely distributed in coastal areas of world. We developed and evaluated simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of C. gigas and to amplify EST-SSR in C. gigas. Characteristics of 11 EST-SSR loci were investigated using 45 C. gigas individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from two to thirteen. The observed heterozygosity (H o) ranged from 0.0889 to 0.7333 and the expected heterozygosity (H e) ranged from 0.0859 to 0.8981. Because of their high level of polymorphism, our 11 single-locus EST-SSR markers will be valuable tools for research on mating system, population genetics and systemic evolution of oyster in the future.
