Bovine microsatellites: racial differences and association with SINE-elements.

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of polymorphism at eight microsatellite loci in three cattle races are described: two large commercial breeds and one endangered landrace. Significant interracial allele frequency differences were found at six loci. The mean heterozygosity was slightly higher in the landrace (H = 0.75) than in the others (H = 0.69). The difference is smaller than that found by DNA-fingerprinting. Intrapopulation...
