Abstract excerpt

Here we tested the segregation and paternal compatibility of markers INRA124 and INRA126 on female DNA in 10 different cattle families, in order to clarify the usefulness of these microsatellites for the study of male-mediated population processes in cattle. Their performance was compared with that of four microsatellites located in the PAR-BTAY (UMN0108, UMN0803, UMN0929 and UMN0905) and another one...
