Genetic profiles of Iranian Holstein young bulls at the national artificial insemination station were determined on the basis of individual genotypes at 13 ISAG's recommended microsatellites, the most useful markers of choice for parentage identification. In the present study a total of 119 individuals were genotyped at 13 microsatellite loci and for possible parent-offspring combinations. A high level of genetic variation was evident within the investigated individuals as assessed from various genetic diversity measures. The mean number of observed alleles per microsatellite marker was 9.15 and the number of effective alleles as usual was less than the observed values (4.03). The average observed and expected heterozygosity values were 0.612 and 0.898, respectively. The mean polymorphic information content (PIC) value (0.694) further reflected a high level of genetic variability. The average exclusion of probability (PE) of the 13 markers was 0.520, ranging from 0.389 to 0.788. The combined exclusion of probability was 0.999, when 13 microsatellite loci were used for analysis in the individual identification system. Inbreeding was calculated as the difference between observed and expected heterozygosity. Observed homozygosity was less than expected which reflects inbreeding of -3.7% indicating that there are genetic differences between bull-sires and bull-dams used to produce young bulls. The results obtained from this study demonstrate that the microsatellite DNA markers used in the present DNA typing are useful and sufficient for individual identification and parentage verification without accurate pedigree information.

The objective of present study was to ascertain sex determination for individual identification, parentage control, and sex chromosome anomalies in horse. PCR amplification products of the equine sex determining region of the Y chromosome gene (SRY) and amelogenin gene (AMEL) were detected by using agarose gel electrophoresis. A normal sire and foal II showed 1 SRY band (430 bp) and 3 AMEL (AMELX, AMELY, and AMELX/Y) band, 175 bp, 160 bp, 190 bp, respectively, and a normal dam and foal I showed a single AMELX band (175 bp). These results enables a quick diagnosis for sex determination prior to cytogenetic analysis.

밀양 토종개의 일반적인 특징을 구명할 수 있는 기초자료를 확보하고자 밀양 토종개 44두를 대상으로 형태학적 특징 및 microsatellite DNA형의 유전적 다양성의 출현빈도에 기초한 유전적인 특징을 조사한 결과 밀양 토종개의 체고는 43-55 cm(평균 49.5 cm)로서 수캐는 44-55 cm(평균 50.3 cm), 암캐는 43-52 cm(평균 48.1 cm)로 나타났고 체장은 45-60 cm(평균 54.3 cm)로서 수캐는 45-60 cm(평균 55.9 cm), 암캐는 45-57 cm(평균 52.6 cm)였다. 또한 가슴둘레는 수캐가 51-64 cm(평균 59.2 cm), 암캐는 50-62 cm(평균 56.3 cm)로 측정되었다. 머리의 형태는 정면에서 보았을 때 44두 모두에서 역삼각형 형태를 가지고 있었으며, 눈의 모양은 삼각형 형태가 40두(90.9%)였고 초승달 모양이 4두(9.1%)로 관찰되었다. 모색은 백색이 41두(93.2%), 황색이 3두(6.8%)로 나타나 두 색깔을 가지고 있었다. 혀와 발톱의 색깔은 전 두수에서 각각 연분홍색과 분홍색이 관찰되었고 항문의 색깔은 연한 흑색이 40두(90.9%), 연분홍색이 4두(9.1%)로 나타났다. 그리고 귀의 형태는 전 두수가삼각형의 곧게 서 있는 형태였으며, 꼬리의 형태는 반말린 꼬리가 25두(56.8%)로 가장 많았고 선꼬리(장대꼬리)가 15두(34.1%), 말린 꼬리가 4두(9.1%)로 나타났다. 15개의 marker로 분석한 microsatellite DNA 다형의 유전자 빈도에 기초하여 heterozygosity, PIC 그리고 PE를 분석한 결과 대립유전자의 수는 $2{\sim}14$개(평균 6.13개)로 검출되었으며 expected heterozygosity와 PIC는 각각 $0.455{\sim}0.863$ (평균 0.635), $0.348{\sim}\;0.837$(평균 0.570)으로 나타났고 PEZ 10, PEZ 13, PEZ 17, FHC 2054의 marker는 PIC 0.7이상으로 관찰되었다. PE 1은 $0.101{\sim}\;0.548$으로서 15개 marker를 조합시 0.9895, PE 2는 $0.174{\sim}\;0.710$으로서 전체 조합시 0.9996으로 나타났다.
