Molecular analysis of the efficiency of sloughed skin sampling in whale population genetics.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 1998

Valsecchi E, Glockner-Ferrari D, Ferrari M, Amos W

Abstract excerpt

Sloughed whale skin contains enough DNA for genetic analysis, and offers a non-intrusive method for collecting tissue. Here, we examine the efficiency of sloughed skin sampling using 1460 samples collected from free-ranging humpback whales. Samples were sexed and screened for up to 10 microsatellite markers. The vast majority of samples appear genetically compatible with field observations. About 1% of groups...
