Genome-based development of 15 microsatellite markers in fluorescent multiplexes for parentage testing in captive tigers
As one of the most endangered species, tiger (Panthera tigris) inbreeding has become an urgent issue to address. Using a microsatellite (short tandem repeat, STR) identification system, paternity testing may be helpful to avoid inbreeding in captive breeding programs. In this study, we developed a g...
