Genetic variation in caribou and reindeer (Rangifer tarandus).

Animal genetics - 1 Feb 2003

Cronin M A, Patton J C, Balmysheva N, MacNeil M D

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation at seven microsatellite DNA loci was quantified in 19 herds of wild caribou and domestic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) from North America, Scandinavia and Russia. There is an average of 2.0-6.6 alleles per locus and observed individual heterozygosity of 0.33-0.50 in most herds. A herd on Svalbard Island, Scandinavia, is an exception, with relatively few alleles and low heterozygosity. The Central...
