Abstract excerpt
While genotyping wild red deer (Cervus elaphus) at microsatellite loci for paternity assignment, we found three loci (MAF65, BOVIRBP and CelJP23) with segregating nonamplifying alleles. Nonamplifying alleles were detected through mismatches between known mother-offspring pairs and by significant...
