Five nuclear protein-coding markers for establishing a robust phylogenetic framework of niphargid crustaceans (Niphargidae: Amphipoda) and new molecular sequence data.

ABSTRACT: The data presented here includes selection of 5 successfully amplified protein-coding markers for inferring phylogenetic relationships of the family of amphipod crustaceans Niphargidae. These markers have been efficiently amplified from niphargid samples for the first time and present the framework for robust phylogenetic assessment of the family Niphargidae. They are useful for phylogenetic purposes among other amphipod genera as well. In detail, the data consists of two parts: 1. Information regarding markers, specific oligonucleotide primer pairs and conditions for PCR reaction that enables successful amplification of specific nucleotide fragments. Two pairs of novel oligonucleotide primers were constructed which enable partial sequence amplification of two housekeeping genes: arginine
