SNPs for parentage testing and traceability in globally diverse breeds of sheep.

SNPs for parentage testing and traceability in globally diverse breeds of sheep.

DNA-based parentage determination accelerates genetic improvement in sheep by increasing pedigree accuracy. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers can be used for determining parentage and to provide unique molecular identifiers for tracing sheep products to their source. However, the utility...
