DNA microsatellites in domesticated dogs: application in paternity disputes.

Abstract excerpt

Microsatellite sequences, like minisatellites, are a class of polymorphic DNA fragments that are randomly distributed throughout mammalian genome. Although they express significantly lower variation than minisatellites, they have potential to be used in paternity disputes. However, the inherently lower variability together with the more genetically homogeneous nature of pedigree dogs due to the major inbreeding,...
