Background Yak (Bos grunniens) is the most important domestic animal for people living at
high altitudes. Yak ordinarily feed by grazing, and this behavior impacts the accuracy of the …

The aim of this work was to develop and to test PCR-based suitable microsatellite marker
panels for paternity testing in sheep. Blood samples were collected from 212 Kivircik sheep …

Six different marker sets with a total number of 19 microsatellite marker were studied in four
different sheep breeds in Germany. The aim of this work was to develop a reliable and cost …

The aim of this work was to evaluate the genetic status of the Girgentana goat, an
endangered breed from Sicily (Italy), using microsatellite markers. Furthermore, as the main …

The aims of this study were to evaluate different paternity test panels with 17 microsatellite
markers for their effectiveness in paternity analysis and to identify pedigree error rates in the …
