Selected DNA Markers

Information and Specification

This document (last updated 5 November 1996) was derived from an original on-line document written by D.G. Bradley.

The recommendation of a group of markers for universal use in cattle poses a particular problem which is not yet encountered in other domestic species. Cattle are already the focus of much research activity and large bodies of data pertaining to genetic variation in different breeds already exist or are in preparation.

Sadly there is little overlap in marker choice between laboratories and consequently joint analyses of data produced will be difficult. The following 23 markers were agreed at the AIRE project meeting in Utrecht on 18/19 May 1996 and may be recommended for use in such work so that joint analysis of future data will be possible with as much incorporation of previous work as possible.

The selection of markers was based on the FAO panel and known usage in groups working on biodiversity in cattle.

The following criteria have been employed, but not absolutely, in marker choice.

  • Existence of prior population data
  • Readability of marker
  • Number of alleles
  • Suitability for use in an automated sequencer
  • Possibility of multiplexing
  • Cross-species utility

The panel of markers will be increased to 30 after agreement at the ISAG meeting in Tours, France in July 1996.

The INRA023 and INRA032 primers have been corrected on this page and on the database, after comparisons in various publications. This was communicated by Dr I Olsaker at the Norwegian College of Veterinary Medicine, Oslo, Norway.
