Allele frequencies and diversity parameters of 27 single nucleotide polymorphisms within and across goat breeds

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are useful markers for biodiversity assessment, linkage analysis, traceability and paternity testing. To date, there are no available SNPs for goat in the NCBI dbSNP database and only a few are reported in the literature. Within the European Union Econogene pro...

Description
Summary:Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are useful markers for biodiversity assessment, linkage analysis, traceability and paternity testing. To date, there are no available SNPs for goat in the NCBI dbSNP database and only a few are reported in the literature. Within the European Union Econogene project, we characterized 27 SNPs in goats using a targeted-gene approach. Polymorphisms were identified in a panel of 16 unrelated individuals belonging to eight different goat breeds selected throughout Europe. Genotypes of 30 goats from each of the eight breeds were determined for all the SNPs characterized and diversity measures were estimated. The caprine SNPs described will be a useful complement to the available genome markers.
