A parentage evaluation test in North American elk (Wapiti) using microsatellites of ovine and bovine origin.
DNA microsatellites originally detected in sheep and cattle are also detectable in North American elk (Wapiti) using polymerase chain reactions. We have developed a parentage test in elk using eleven microsatellite markers that are highly polymorphic and informative.
