Allele frequencies of microsatellite loci for genetic characterization of a Sicilian bovine population

M. Cosenza, Reale, S., Lupo, T., Vitale, F., and Caracappa, S., Allele frequencies of microsatellite loci for genetic characterization of a Sicilian bovine population, vol. 14, pp. 691-699, 2015.

Short tandem repeats are used as an effective method to trace DNA markers in genotyping. Using a standardized kit, we tested 11 microsatellite markers recommended by the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) in a sample of 495 Sicilian cattle. The aim of this study was to investigate the allele frequencies in the Sicilian cattle population to provide a reference database and at the same time to assess the use of the ISAG microsatellite panel for pedigree analysis.
