MICROSATELLITE SEQUENCES OF Y HETEROSOME IN BOVIDAE FAMILY

Genetic conservatism at the level of microsatellite sequences permits within-family comparisons of a species. Using this assumption, we examined the polymorphism of microsatellite sequences specific to the Y chromosome (INRA124, BM861, INRA126, INRA 189) in cattle, sheep and goats belonging to the Bovidae family.

The three polymorphic microsatellite sequences: BM861, INRA126, INRA 189 were found useful for analysing genetic conservatism in the investigated Bovidae species, while the fourth INRA 124 marker was shown to be monomorphic.
