Microsatellites are playing an important role in paternity assignment of animals. Given the cost and effort, it would be optimal to develop a minimal microsatellite marker set for paternity testing. This study was the first to assess paternity in a captive colony of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) from the Chinese province of Anhui using 10 polymorphic microsatellites. Results indicated that if at least 6 loci were genotyped, the probability of paternity assignment success was nearly 100%. Our results provide a panel of 6 markers that is effective for assessing paternity of subspecies M. m. siamica of Anhui origin.
微卫星在动物亲权鉴定中发挥着重要作用。考虑到成本和工作量,开发一套用于亲子鉴定的最小微卫星标记集将是最佳选择。本研究首次使用10个多态性微卫星对来自中国安徽省的一群圈养恒河猴(猕猴)进行亲权评估。结果表明,如果至少对6个位点进行基因分型,亲权鉴定成功的概率接近100%。我们的结果提供了一组6个标记,可有效评估安徽原产的暹罗猕猴亚种的亲权。
