Genetic identification of wild and domestic cats (Felis silvestris) and their hybrids using Bayesian clustering methods.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2001

Randi E, Pierpaoli M, Beaumont M, Ragni B, Sforzi A

Abstract excerpt

Crossbreeding with free-ranging domestic cats is supposed to threaten the genetic integrity of wildcat populations in Europe, although the diagnostic markers to identify "pure" or "admixed" wildcats have never been clearly defined. Here we use mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences and allelic variation at 12 microsatellite loci to genotype 128 wild and domestic cats sampled in Italy which were preclassified into three...
