Abstract excerpt
Background: Genetic testing for pedigree accuracy is critical for managing genetic diversity in North American (NA) yak ( Bos grunniens), a population expanded mostly from imported zoological park specimens. DNA testing also enhances species conservation by identifying recent B. taurus F1 hybrid ancestors (within three generations). Biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can accomplish either task,...
