Recent development of allele frequencies and exclusion probabilities of microsatellites used for parentage control in the German Holstein Friesian cattle population.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Methods for parentage control in cattle have changed since their initial implementation in the late 1950's from blood group typing to more current single nucleotide polymorphism determination. In the early 1990's, 12 microsatellites were selected by the International Society for Animal Genetics based on their informativeness and robustness in a variety of different cattle breeds. Since then this panel...
