Transferability of short tandem repeat markers for two wild Canid species inhabiting the Brazilian Cerrado

F. M. Rodrigues, Telles, M. P. C., Resende, L. V., Soares, T. N., Diniz-Filho, J. A. F., Jácomo, A. T. A., and Silveira, L., Transferability of short tandem repeat markers for two wild Canid species inhabiting the Brazilian Cerrado, vol. 5. pp. 846-850, 2006.

The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) and the crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) are two wild-canid species found in the Brazilian Cerrado. We tested cross-amplification and transferability of 29 short tandem repeat primers originally developed for cattle and domestic dogs and cats on 38 individuals of each of these two species, collected in the Emas National Park, which is the largest national park in the Cerrado region.

Genetic variability in maned wolf based on heterologous short-tandem repeat markers from domestic dog

The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) is the largest South American canid. Habitat loss and fragmentation, due to agricultural expansion and predatory hunting, are the main threats to this species. It is included in the official list of threatened wildlife species in Brazil, and is also protected by IUCN and CITES.
